hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and crisp character as Guinness Original. The bottled stout that Ireland and continental Europe know under this name, drawn from the same archival lineage as Extra Stout but conditioned with carbon dioxide instead of nitrogen and held at a lower strength than the North American version. The aroma is roasted barley over a fresh hop note, with coffee and a light fruitiness behind it. It pours deep dark under a short-lived head. The palate is crisp rather than creamy, the roast bite runs through the middle, and the close is bittersweet and dry. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
