Pros: DAS WIDGETTEN, tastes great, manly man beer Cons: Not for beginners, not for chugging.
When I was 18, I tried my first Guinness, out of a bottle. My reaction was something that my friends talked about for weeks, as the fluid in the bottle tasted less like Beer to me at the time, and more like dead yak bile.
I read something...

Pros: Heavenly Mother's Milk with a kick Cons: how dare you ask if there are any
It is no secret that Guinness stout is a hearty drink. Whether you toast one to your buddies in a nice little Irish Pub, or you sip one for breakfast, there is no other "beer" that is so versatile.
The taste of the burnt caramel is...

Pros: Flavorful and good support for a heavy meal Cons: If the pub is not reputable, this beer can acquire a burnt taste from oxidation.
Guinness is one of the truly great beers in this world. Practically a form of currency in Ireland, it is not quite so popular here in the States because the richness of its flavors and creaminess of its texture is somewhat anathema to tastes of the...

Pros: new can keeps flavor, body intact Cons: none
To be precise, this is a review of Guiness' draught can. I'm not sure if this is a new product (the draught can) or not so new, but either way, it's amazing.
Traditionally, Guiness in a can or bottle lacked al of the elements that I love...

Pros: Smooth, not too bitter, no nasty lingering aftertaste. Cons: None worth mentioning.
Let me preface this by pointing out that I'm not a beer drinker. I don't like beer. Beer is an acquired taste that I've never been quite able to acquire. Sure, I drank beer in college. It was cheap, and if you drank enough of it, the aftertaste really...

Pros: The classic stout
Cons: You have to go to Dublin to get the real thing...
Say stout and people tend to think Guinness. Guinness is deservedly an extremely popular drink. Everyone is familiar with the black velvety body and creamy tan head, fewer people know there's more than one Guinness; hopefully this review will change...

Pros: When it's good it's great! Cons: Bad Guinness, "Extra Cold" Guinness, Cans, Bottles
Hello from Dublin, home of Guinness.
Guinness is everywhere here. It's in practically every pub, it sponsors loads of events, and visiting politicians and celebrities delight in posing with a pint. It's available on draught, in bottles and...

Pros: Canadian ‘Guinness Extra Stout’ by Labatt looks like former ES. Will it impress trendy friends? Cons: Tastes more like ‘Bud’ or ‘Labatt’s.’ Lacks distinctive ‘Guinness’ taste of the original. Misleading label.
Update at 3/12/04 The name Labatt’s has been replaced with Guinness in the fine print on the back of the label, but I've pretty much stopped drinking Guinness anyways. The last time I tried it was maybe a year ago when I ...

Pros: Great flavor and balance, thick rich head, premium beer. Cons: Somewhat pricey, may be too heavy for some, on the bitter side.
Among collegiate beer drinking circles, one name evokes a certain response that is almost universal in its praise and fondness and that name is Guinness. It is imported from Dublin Ireland by the Guinness Import company. It is readily available...

Pros: Can be served straight or mixed. Cons: Too bitter for my taste.
It's been a few years since I took a hiatus from college and headed out for Jolly Old England. To make a long story short, I had the opportunity to work in a real English Pub, complete with warm ale, served in pint jars.
I loved the way the...

Pros: Head, Pint size, Great NYE noisemaker Cons: No sediment, no musk, lacks complexity, lacks soul
This epinion is clearly not about Guinness Stout Draught or Bottled. If this is what you are looking for, look no further than Counsel's wonderful epinion.
I wholeheartedly agree with him, and may wait for Epinions to add a 6 star option...

Pros: da' best Cons: my tummy hurts
Hello, I'm working on my 4th pint right now. I'v had Guinness before, but I needed to refresh my memory (too bad it will be erased tomorrow).
I bought one of the 4-pack of "draught" cans. I gueSS "Draught" sounds more...

Pros: Great Taste, Complements Cigars and Finer Foods Cons: Expensive
Just when I thought I'd found the perfect beer in Guinness Draught, I happen upon a six pack of Guinness Extra Stout. Even better, it happened to be during the Super Bowl! What could be better? Well, maybe some pretzels and a steaming hot pizza to go...

Pros: Smooth, filling, tasty, awesome toucan spokesman Cons: Not available everywhere, maybe too bitter for some
Tap-poured Guinness Stout, enjoyed in the company of some friends, and possibly some food, is a pleasant experiences that, if you enjoy it, makes for one of those moments when you're glad to be a human being. Sitting down in front of a plate of some...

Pros: Flavor Cons: too long for the foam to go down
This is so incredible it seems a disservice to call it beer. This beer is best when consumed at room temperature. When first drawn, it has a thick creamy head that has an incredible smell to it. Yep, smell it. The head will slowly go away, if you are...
