Guinness Stout 2404b

Pros: Full-bodied, robust, dark, creamy thick head, slightly bitter
Cons: Price, availability, often improperly poured from tap, better in Ireland, acquired taste, filling

I chose Guinness Stout for the Write-off because during the potato famine, many Irishmen were sent by boat to penal colonies in Australia for committing petty crimes-the Irish Ballad "Fields of Athenry."

I never cared for the taste of...

Pros: the definitive version of Irish stout
Cons: Labatt's bottled version

Much has been written or said about Guinness Extra Stout. Many will view this as the Holy Grail of beer. This is certainly a company that has done a masterful job of marketing its product. If you’re are going to criticize Anheuser ...

Pros: Thick rich tasting delicious beer.
Cons: It might take some light beer drinkers awhile to get used to.

Guinness

Everyone knows how much the Irish like to drink. So it’s almost common knowledge that their beers are very well made. Guinness is the best selling beer in Ireland and has been around for almost 250 years. The world consumes...

Pros: Full, rich taste
Cons: There are cons? Well, OK, it's a bit pricey.

As a teenager--an American teenager, no less--I was a miserable failure. Unlike the vast majority of my peers, I hated beer. I just couldn't understand the attraction of a watery concoction featuring fermented hops. Brand didn't seem to matter: ...

Pros: Delicious; a dark beer with a light taste.
Cons: None

Once upon a time I really liked Guinness. It was only until recently when I had a few dark beers that I didn’t like I decided I must have lost my taste for dark beer. After having a Guinness on draft. I remembered why I liked it so much. Guinness ...

Pros: Rich, creamy and satisfying
Cons: Erm....it's opaque?

Guinness must be one of the best known beers in the world, partly because of clever marketing, but more importantly, because it's just plain good. Many people are put off by their first taste of Guinness as the bitter, burnt flavour can ...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: The stupid little ball in the draught is a travesty.

This is the quintessential labor of love epinion. Even though 277 reviews on the product appear on this site, I still want to write about my favorite beer. I'll be very honest with you. I probably have between 4 and 7 Guinness bottles each and every ...

Pros: Smooth with good body and delicious taste.
Cons: Don't have it often enough

There are beers that are fine at home or party. There are others that taste best as part of an overall experience. There's nothing like walking into a good brew pub or better yet an Irish pub and drinking a Guinness Stout. It's poured draught style. No ...

Pros: Rich, smooth almost chocolate or coffee-like taste; no carbonation; creamy; tastes good warm.
Cons: It’s an acquired taste; expensive.

When you’re a Guinness lover you feel like you’re part of an exclusive club, which is weird because it’s one of the most popular beers around the globe. I’ve traveled overseas and almost every bar and restaurant has Guinness on ...

Pros: Economical, tasty; two bottles satisfy my cravings for alcohol
Cons: Must develop a taste for it, like all good things.

Guinness® Extra Stout

This review refers to the bottled Guinness, available in liquor stores and discriminating bars and restaurants. The bottled product is significantly different than the canned or draft Guinness Stout.

As a...

Pros: Intense, roasty, coffeeish, chocolatey world-class brew
Cons: None

Ok, I didn't make up the title. But I wish I had. It was actually a slogan used by the brewery to sell its beer, one of many over the years. "Guinness is Good For You" is another one that I particularly like. Beer good for health? Perish the thought in...

Pros: Creamy texture with a deep, dry roast flavor
Cons: None

There is no art or craft that you can ever hope to master without studying the masters. So it is with brewing. In spite of all the hype over small craft breweries, taking a moment to reflect on the old masters pays dividends. Nowhere is this more true...

Pros: Rich, Creamy, Foamy
Cons: Price, Filling

When it comes to stout, the first name that comes to the mind of most people is Guinness. This rich, malty beer is known by beer lovers around the world as the benchmark which all other stouts are judged against. It isn't difficult to see why. Guinness...

Pros: Simply Outstanding
Cons: A bit pricey, but worth every penny

I have been a beer enthusiast almost twenty years now, started on Bass Ale from my father, and quickly worked up to Guinness. In the years since, I've tried almost everything else I could find, usually enjoying most of the darker brews, yet I always...

Pros: Fabulous drink, lower alcohol than most beers. Can cook with it too!
Cons: Lot of calories (stout is not just the name).

I still remember the first time I tasted Guinness Stout. It was in a pub in Manchester, England; it was served cold (odd for the UK, but Guinness most often is served cold there). First the rich creamy head froths on the upper lip, and it is such a...
