Guinness Draughtalc - 4.2% alc/vol
price - $4 can, $15 4pk
I thought I'd review Guinness seeing as it's St Patrick's Day.
And really what more can be said about Guinness other than it's a big pint of liquid food. Many times I remember when I was younger putting off buying food and instead buying a few cans of Guinness.
It's blacker than night with a off white head. Smells of dark coffee with slightly peaty dirty hints. On the palate it's much the same with coffee and roasted malt being the driving force. It seems a lot lighter than I remember, maybe that's just the canned version but it's still an enjoyable drink. Not sure if I'd be able to put away as many as I used to but I sure would try.
Just on a side note there are a few countries around the world that are allowed to brew Guinness under licence, Australia is one of them and so is Nigeria. When I worked in Scotland I was fortunate enough to come across the Nigerian version which was an absolute ball buster rating in at around 7.9% alcohol, if you ever get the chance to try one you would be doing yourself a favour.

Are you reviewing the Aussie one or the imported one?
What do you think of Kilkenny?
I've reviewed the fully imported can with the ingenius widget. I will in the future review the Aussie one just for kicks.
To be honest I haven't tried the Kilkenny in about 5 years.
