Guinness Extra Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep black color with exceptional clarity and a thick, creamy tan head that persists throughout the drinking experience. The nitrogen carbonation creates a distinctive cascading effect and tight, long-lasting foam collar. A benchmark example of visual presentation in the stout category.

◌ Aroma

Prominent roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes dominate the nose, with subtle grain and malt undertones. The aroma is restrained and elegant, allowing the intensity of the roasted character to shine without overwhelming. A dry, slightly bitter quality emerges as the beer warms.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bold roasted malt and coffee flavors that build through the mid-palate, followed by a sharp, assertive bitterness that distinguishes this from the Draught version. Rich dark chocolate notes weave throughout, while the creamy mouthfeel—courtesy of nitrogen—balances the intensity. Full-bodied and complex, with excellent depth for its 5.6% ABV.

◑ Abgang

A sharp, dry finish that cuts cleanly through the palate with lingering roasted and bitter notes. The aftertaste is remarkably dry and crisp, leaving a pleasant grip without excessive harshness.
