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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 didnt 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: A comparison of Guinness in a Can to Guinness in a bottle. Cons: Read the review to find out.
Guinness in a Can? The Report From China. By James P. Zaworski I was unaware that Guinness Stout (foreign extra stout that is) came in a can until I noticed Guinness on the menu in a restaurant here in Guangdong Province (Dan Shui). I have ...

Pros: Tastes amazing! The marketing is ingenious! Cons: Some places don't pour it right! Sometimes more expensive than other drinks.
Guinness is a household name beer or stout if you want to be precise (I'll probably use the term beer as a generic term from now on to include things like stout), that is probably known just at least as much for its ingenious marketing as it is ...

Pros: One of the best beers in the world
Cons: None whatsoever
No other brewery uses as much roasted barley as Guiness, which prepares its own. (MJBC, p 181) Its dinnertime again and I go to the old city. As most of the time I dinner alone, I can afford having a dinner in an ...

Pros: One of the best beers in the world Cons: Murphy's is better
It's funny that when you think of the most famous beers in the world, 2 beers so diverse as Budweiser and Guinness would have to be right up there. There's a big difference, however in how each got to be so well known.
Let's be honest,...

Pros: Filling and flavorful Cons: Not for the novice drinker
I have a confession to make; when I first tried Guinness Stout a number of years ago I did not like it at all. At the time I was slowly inching my way from drinking the standard American light lagers (which all of my friends drank, and when you're young ...
