Guinness 0.0
Brewed at St James's Gate from the same water, barley, roasted barley, hops and yeast as the draught version, with the alcohol taken out afterwards by cold filtration rather than held back during fermentation; the brewers then blend and balance the result. Development ran four years. The aroma stays with roasted coffee and chocolate, the colour is the familiar dark ruby red under a creamy head, and bitter, sweet and roasted notes sit together on a body that is lighter than the full-strength beer.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
