Guinness Draught Reviews

Guinness is absolutely synonymous with the Irish way of life, and whilst I tend to just drink it around St. Patrick's Day (to ensure that I get the novelty hat!), it's a rich, quality product that's very refined and well crafted. In fact, it's frequently referred to as almost resembling a food, in that it's very filling, like a good meal. ...  Read the complete review

I am not (or should I say was not) a Guinness drinker until this week, but now I think it will be part of my shop. Okay I'd heard of the brand. I knew what it looked like, I mean who hasn't, but I have only ever tried it back in the 80's, during my teenage years. I don't think back then my pallett had been trained enough, because at the time I was ...  Read the complete review

I do not think that there is anything more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than a perfectly poured pint of the black stuff. Even though it is 10.00 am on a Friday morning I am positively salivating thinking about tucking into a creamy pint this evening. A lot goes into reating this perfectly poured pint however, as it is imperative ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of Guinness Draught as sold in cans. I purchased my Guinness in a six pack for £5.99 at my local Spar. Each can contains 440ml of dark stout. The can contains a 'widget', this is a device which enables the pourer to produce the traditional looking Guinness in a glass, i.e. a rich dark body with a thick creamy head. ...  Read the complete review

Guinness A thick brew that is only mildly bitter Smooth, creamy and black A wholesome brew, traditional, born of the Emerald Isle A man's drink, working class... well it used to be In recent years it's become more 'trendy' and therefore less exclusive. But it remains a dear old friend who never lets you ...  Read the complete review

The age old beverage... It's amazing to think that Guinness was first made in Dublin around 250 years ago. Ten years after its creation, the product was exported for the first time - six and a half barrels made the trip across the sea to England. Since then, the product has gained a worldwide appeal and is now a truly global ...  Read the complete review

Guiness is absolutely superb.
I especially like the fact that wethgerspoons are doing it cheap with vouchers. Although last nite i had a couple too many and couldnt cycle home properly.
I had to do election duty for mayor race today and ive got a six pint hangover. I'll probably have corn beef hash to soak it up later.
I like to go to different pubs evry day,but in a rota system.Monday curry club tuesday- steak club..that sort of thing. And the guiness varies from pub to pub. I think i prefer wetherspoons best.
They have vouchers.

From the moment you step into a pub and order a pint of Guinness start believing the hype. Guinness is a drink that is everything it is made out to be, sleek, sexy, stylish and very, very tasty. It almost seems an exclusive drink that only a certain select few actually drink, because if you go into any bar or pub the percentage of Guinness ...  Read the complete review

I'm about to go to Ireland for a few weeks so I decided to drink guinness before I left. I could only get it in cans but it turned out well. Initially, the taste was a little disturbing, kind of a burnt chocalate taste. But after a few sips I was hooked. Once it hits your stomach, it sits nice and you already want more. I'm still more of a bass ...  Read the complete review

It’s amazing how your drinking tastes can change over the years isn’t it? I distinctly remember drinking pints of mild when I lived in Birmingham but it’s hardly in vogue these days and probably the last preserve of Brummies wearing flat caps taking a break from racing their pigeons. Then it was a combination of bitter and lager otherwise called a ...  Read the complete review

I’ve been drinking Guinness regularly for a couple of years now and as soon as I enter a pub it’s up to the bar for a pint of it. Just watching it settle in the glass is a pleasure for me. I’ve sampled it in pubs in Bathgate, Livingston, Glasgow, Edinburgh and various pubs around England but have never had the honour to have a ...  Read the complete review

Nothing is more Irish than Guinness stout but this was not always the case in fact Guinness is a copy of a traditional type of English ale! MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH GUINNESS Ever since going to University in the south of England I have been a confirmed real ale drinker. The south has some great local breweries making some great ...  Read the complete review

Guinness is by far Irelands most famous product and something the Irish must be extremely proud of. My experience with Guinness began many many years ago and I continue to enjoy this drink till today on quite a regular basis. If you really want to enjoy your Guinness then by far the best way is the natural draught version at ...  Read the complete review

I do not drink beer. The frequency of my drinking beer in a year can be counted by the amount of fingers. I dislike the alcoholic smell as well as its smell although most of beer produced in not more than 0.5 percent alcoholic. Being compared to Johnnie Walker, Guinness is much more lighter at all. I have never heard any body ...  Read the complete review

Ah!! “The Black Stuff”. Guinness is a drink that you will either love or hate the first time you try it. The fact that it is extremely bitter puts some people off at first. However, perceiver and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. The beer (or rather stout) itself is an opaque black colour, is almost flat and has a very ...  Read the complete review

When I first tried Guinness many years ago, I was slightly thrown by the bitter dark, but it has since become one of my all time favorites. If you like dark beer, this is the champion of them all. It's full bodied and fairly thick with a decent white head, which earns it the name "blonde in a black dress", something ...  Read the complete review

Guiness has become closer to a fashion accessory than drink. This has alot to do with it's ultra cool image and it's aesthetically pleasing nature. But on a personal note I don't give two hoots about what my pint looks like, it's taste and texture I'm interested in. I think Guiness really is as close as it gets to velvet in ...  Read the complete review

The first thing that strikes me, and I must admit the reason I started drinking the stuff in the first place, about a perfectly poured pint of Guinness is how beautiful it looks. Assuming that your bar person has selected a clean glass and has poured the pint correctly, they will place on the bar in front of you a pint of dark liquid with ...  Read the complete review

Now I'm not encouraging the act of binge drinking here, but when I turned 18 the drink of choice all day was Guinness, straight from the pump. If you have some money to spare, don't go and buy the bottles, the tins, and things with widgets. Go to the pub. Meet a few mates, and drink the real thing. It is so much smoother, creamier, and the ...  Read the complete review

Guinness comes in two flavours in your local pub: Guinness Draught and Guinness Extra Cold. The extra cold variety is exactly the same, but a bit cooler. (Big Tip: If you don't like it that cold, then order a pint about ten minutes before you want to drink it.) I don't know what it is about Guinness that makes it so popular. The ...  Read the complete review
