Description
In a nutshell:
Dark and smouldering porter softened by a kiss of toffee sweetness
The lowdown:
This dark, robust porter was brewed to have the strength and stamina to last long sea journeys to places like the Caribbean which led to its name. It brims with dark, roasty malt flavours plus hints of chocolate and coffee and a touch of caramel sweetness. All this achieves a good balance between bitterness and malt sweetness, making it dangerously smooth and moreish.
The Brewery:
The story of Guinness begins in 1759, when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin. Originally brewing ales, he soon shifted to porters, but with a twist - using nitrogen-rich Irish barley for a smoother mouthfeel and that signature creamy head. Unlike the harsher stouts of the time, Guinness was silky, balanced, and became a sensation. By the 19th century, it wasn't just a beer - it was Ireland in a glass and right to this day very little has changed.
Style - Porter ABV 6.0% - Strong
