Yeah, that's the bottled stuff which despite being better that the inferior and weaker stuff from the tap, still isn't anything to get too excited about imo.;) I guess I'm just a bit of a beer snob though!;)

This is the well-respected export stout from Guinness. It is a rich brown-black colour that doesn't show any signs of translucency even when held against a light. It has a thick, bubbly, rocky head with an aroma of heavy, treacley malt and cheesy hops. The palate is immediately steamrollered by an aggressive, tooth-tingling bitterness like thick, hopped malt extract, followed by an extremely treacley, smoky malt flavour with a tinge of sweetness. There is a chewy mouthfeel, which combined with the intense bitterness makes it quite a challenge to get through, especially towards the end of a session. Aftertaste is again severely bitter and malty. Clearly, subtlety was not a key consideration in the brewing of this beer. That said, it is a powerful, intense, memorable sledgehammer of a beer, impressive in its own right - a stout with balls.
