Guinness Stout

	Guinness, Ltd. Guinness Stout Dublin, Ireland 10/22/2009. on tap at Champps, 6.0 abv
Smell	Smoky, roasted or even toasted malt with some coffee and burnt sugar like when a pie spills over in the oven.
Appearance	The perfect pint, deep opaque black with a long lasting 1/2" head. This is what stout is supposed to look like.
Taste	Nice sweet, roasted malt taste with some chocolate and espresso. Very smooth and silky and goes down easy. It may be just a tad thin. On tap is much better than bottles or cans, IMHO.
Comments	There is a lot I like about Guinness. I like that the brewery is older than dirt. I like the way it looks. I like the cascading. I like the creamy smooth feel. And most importantly, I like the taste. But, with all that said, there are better stouts out there. I will, however, continue to order a pint of Guinness whenever the mood arises, which is quite often. The kid visited the brewery in Dublin, which made me jealous.
