About the Beer:
The best beer on the Planet, it is no wonder why Ireland has adopted its harp symbol as its own. This is the Original Dry Irish Stout, pours nearly black, thick and the frothy mocha head holds just as good as it can.
Extremely welcoming aroma of coffee, malts, caramel and mild smokey smell all blend together when you inhale it. The flavour is every bit of Coffee, Christmas Chocolates and  roasted malt bites that dries out the finish.  The hops are discernible in the background, but that is fine for the style.

This beer is so silky smooth that you hardly know you are drinking a Stout. Delicious in its comforting flavour, warming in its beautiful ascending volcano appearance and always dependable for its drinkability

This is a great Beer to introduce to your friends who are not diverse in their style of Beers. Most of them would be scared of the colour and think it would be too heavy, not good taste etc. If Guinness is served at the right temperature and in right method, they may find themselves pleasantly surprised and be willing to try others!!

Let us raise a glass to honour the centuries of Guinness brilliance. It is a LEGEND!!

Note: Special Thanks to Craig Conway for getting me this long awaited Beer from St James’s Gates, Dublin, Ireland.
