Downing The Black : Guinness West Indies Porter review


I love Guinness , and I was happy to see a couple new offerings from St. James’s Gate, in particularly  this one. Off the bat, the abv is a bit higher than the average Guinness, but not at all off putting at 6.00%.  It pours the typical black that one would expect with a small lasting tan head. Upon tasting, you are greeted with roasted malt, caramel, and even a bit of coffee. The aroma is a bit "chocolatey", if I may say, and there is little to no carbonation present. You are left with a bit of a watery, bitter taste after each drink, and overall, one was enough for me.   Not bad at all, but I think I will stick with the Draught  from now on.



Fun fact: Looking to drink beer while on a diet? A pint of the good stuff contains only 198 calories. That’s less than most light beers, wine, orange juice or even low fat

                               



                              




Price: £2 or €2.59(note: I got mine on sale from the local market for about 1.69)
