Guinness Original

About

Guinness Original, also known as Guinness Extra Stout, is a classic Irish stout that embodies the rich heritage of the Guinness brand. First brewed in 1821, it is based on a recipe by Arthur Guinness II for his Superior Porter. The beer features a dark ruby-red color with a frothy head, offering a crisp and balanced taste profile. Its aroma is subtly fruity with warming notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, creating a sensory experience that is both inviting and complex. The taste of Guinness Original is characterized by bitter, sweet, and roasted notes, culminating in a dry finish. The use of roasted barley contributes to its distinctive dark color and robust flavor. Unlike Guinness Draught, which is nitrogenated for a smoother texture, Guinness Original relies on carbonation to deliver a sharper, more lively experience. This makes it a preferred choice for those who enjoy a more assertive and traditional stout taste. With its rich history and enduring popularity, Guinness Original remains a staple in the world of dark beers.
