The aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon, caramel malt, and some floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour is cinnamon, nutmeg, malt, and a bitter hop finish. The spices were very very evident in the taste. A nice winter warmer. A bit on the expensive side however!

Aroma was roasted malt and molasses. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour was roasted malt, and a sour metallic note. Better than a macro golden lager, but not something I'll try again after the six pack is gone.

July 9, 1998<br> Toby’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – First Canadian Place)<br> 592ml Draught<br> 5.00% ABV<br> $3.50<br> This is the beer that convinced me that Ales are not for me. I think the aroma is alright, and as for appearance, there is something about beer that looks like coffee that turns me off. Even the flavour wasn't that appealing to me. I found this to be a slightly bitter beverage. Even the mouthfeel felt very thick and strong with little in the way of carbonation. I'm the only person I know who doesn't really like Guinness so it's not you people...it's me.

341ml bottle <br> 4.2% ABV <br> Guelph, Ontario, Canada <br> No matter how many times I try Guinness, I fail to see why the world appreciates it so much. As I move along with my beer experience, I do tend to give it slightly higher ratings....more to distance it from the trashy swill than to bring it closer to the diamonds of the beer world.

May 1, 1990<br> Woolwich Arms, The (Guelph, Ontario, Canada – 176 Woolwich Street)<br> 592ml draught<br> 4.10%<br> $2.25<br> There, I've tried all the major Guinness products, and they all have a dry, tea-like taste contained with a brown body. I realize the rest of the world thinks this is some brown elixer, but I cannot say that I share their passion for this brew.

I do prefer the regular Gulden Draak to this, but still quite good.
