Beer of the Week: Guinness Draught

Beer score: 8.4

Company: Guinness
ABV: 4.2
IBU: 50

Guinness is an old staple for stout lovers, and this one won't disappoint.

Pours black into the glass while giving off strong smells of burnt coffee and chocolate.

Has an extremely smooth head to it. In fact, the smoothest, frothiest head on any beer I've ever had.

Has the expected Guinness strength, though in my opinion not quite as tasty as Guinness Extra Stout. Still, it has plenty of burnt caramel flavoring.

Not the best stout, but still a darn good one and worth tasting ... or even sipping regularly.

And in case you're wondering, a "draught" or "draft" beer is one usually taken directly from the keg, though in this case "draught" is a marketing designation meaning the beer is supposed to taste and feel like it's straight from the keg, which is usually accomplished a few different ways, such as by including a small ball inside the can or bottle or by coating the inside of the can or bottle with a special texture, plus there are a few other ways to do this.
