Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout
Beer-a-Day #220
To mark the 250 year anniversary of the signing of the lease on St. James’s Gate Brewery by Arthur Guinness, we introduce a special commemorative stout. This premium recipe provides a refreshing taste, which underlies the complex flavor of stout.
I guess I’m a little behind the times on this. Better late than never I suppose.
Dark, dark brown tending to black with ruby highlights. Thick tan head. Smells sweet. Cherries and chocolate is the impression I get. Light body with some roastiness and a dry finish. It’s pretty good, but I’m left…wanting. Something’s missing but I can’t put my finger (or my tongue, more precisely) on it. It’s not bad at all; I suppose I was expecting something more.

Telegraph: Bubbles in Guinness ‘go down not up’ say scientists
Guinness, in the best Irish tradition, does things differently. The bubbles in a freshly poured pint appear to be cascading down the side of the glass – yet the creamy top which is the drink’s trademark remains.

JavaHead Stout contains a blend of locally roasted espresso and Kenyan coffee beans by St. Thomas Roasters in Linglestown, PA.
JavaHead’s recipe is based off of our original oatmeal stout. After the boil, the hot wort passes through our hopback vessel on it’s way to fermentation. Packed full of whole leaf hops and a bed of ground [...]

Ron loves this stout. Why wouldn’t he? It’s big and bold and full of hop goodness.
With a huge, Pacific Northwest hop aroma & character upfront, Storm King subsides into massive, roast malt complexity. More flavor than mere words can adequately describe. Rich and substantial, it will warm your heart.

I noticed that Flying Dog was having a beer tasting local to my place of business, so I decided to pop in and check it out. When I got over to Cork 57 in Bethesda (nice place, by the way, with a fairly decent craft beer selection) who should be there but JT, who also [...]

The Starr Hill web site proclaims this to be the most decorated dry irish stout in the country.
Dark, dark brown with a tan head. Lots of chocolate and roastiness in the aroma. Roast coffee flavors. It’s very good.

“Widget Week” continues.
Dark brown with a creamy beige head. Tiny bubbles, of course. Smells a bit like french roast coffee. More coffee roastiness in the flavor and a light body.

Mahogany with a thin, medium-brown head. I would describe the aroma as “warm”, with plenty of chocolaty undertones. Dry, roasty finish.

Chocolate brown with a thick tan head. A bit of chocolate in the aroma to go with the roastiness.Perhaps a bit more bite from the carbonation than I generally like in a stout, but not too bad.A bit of coffee in the flavor.

Throughout the sampling of my 40 birthday beers, I am also interleaving some of my normal stock. And, as always, my normal stock contains either something new, or something I haven’t had in a long while.
Victory’s Storm King Imperial Stout was a beer I bought myself to share at my 40th party and we never [...]
