Description:
Adored since 1959, it’s the powerful surge and settle that gives GUINNESS® Draught beer its uniqueness. Lovingly poured around the world, GUINNESS® Draught is one of best-selling imported beers in the USA.
A unique mix of nitrogen and carbon dioxide helps create GUINNESS® Draught’s liquid swirl that tumbles, surges and gradually separates into a black body and smooth creamy head.
The rise and fall of our bubbles has perplexed PhD physicists. But all you need to focus on is the taste. With an initial malt and caramel flavour, GUINNESS® Draught finishes with a dry roasted bitterness. Enjoy.

Guinness Draught from the keg is significantly better, IMO.

I would have to agree. Keg draught is so much smoother.

Medium sized, creamy tan head that sits atop a black as night body. Always did enjoy watching that head form.The lace is nice also. Every sip can be accounted for by a creamy tan ring thats left behind after each quaff. Slight ruby hue coming through when held up to the light.
Aroma - 2.5
Slight. Faint roast and coffe notes. Light earthyness.
Mouthfeel - 2.5
Unfortunately thin though the creamy feel is always nice. Soft carbonation.Light tartness
Taste - 2.5
Light roast, caramel, and some black patent notes. All faint and fairly lacking, shame.
Overall - 2.5
I,ve drank mant a pint of Guinness over the years. Seems to have gotten thinner and less flavoful as time goes on. Not sure if its just me and my palate growing old or if they have been dumbing down to appeal to a bigger crowd? Always look forward to it but then i,m reminded of how mediocre it really is. A true classic that just doesnt have the guts any more, imho.

Pours dark as night, no light coming through at all. Has one fingers worth of creamy tan head with good lacing.
Aroma - 4.0
Delicious aroma smells of roasted coffee.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
Creamy, low carbonation. It feels a tad watery.
Taste - 2.0
Don't get too much out of the taste, some roasted malts and a bit of sourness. I was a little let down by the lack of flavor
Overall - 3.0
Overall I wasn't hugely impressed. I think Guiness's Extra Stout is much better. It's not a bad beer, but lacks in flavor for me personally. To be fair I am sure it tastes much better with a proper pour on draft. I had the bottled version.
