Ich wär heute am liebesten in Dublin…

Wieso? Ganz einfach, Die Biermarke Guinness feiert ihr 250 jähriges bestehen. Solch eine Feier werde ich nicht so schnell wieder erleben und mich auf die 300-Jahr-Feier zu freuen, find ich doch zu hoch gepokert.
Das Gründungsjahr der Brauerei geht zwar…

On behalf of the late Arthur Guinness, I would like to protest that my wonderful brew has survived (Despite the Guinness Light episode) so as people say “if it ain’t broke do not fix it” so please leave it alone as one of the world’s favourite drink. If you ave spare energy, then try to improve the travel ability of my brew (So Americans can get the taste that Irish folk get). Thank you in anticipation.

I have been drinking Guinness Extra Stout since 1974 and it is still my favorite. The draught version is wonderful as well. Perhaps I got hold of a six pack that had been intentionally abused or somehow tortured. When I tasted the 250 anniversary Guinness, I immediately exclaimed that there was something wrong with this brew. It was thin, acidic, flat (I thought it was supposed to be carbonated?) and not in the same universe as any other Guinness offering. I waited a day and tried it again. Same opinion. I had to rinse my palate with an Extra Stout in an attempt to forget the experience. It sort of reminded me of the Coca Cola/New Coke fiasco. I’m still a Guinness devote, just not this Guinness.

Third and Long just picked up the bottled stout. I’ve had it and it tastes like regular Guinness… with bubbles, if that makes any sense.

Taste: a bit milder than the Extra Stout. Though it still has that taste. It is also smooth. A guy at Spec’s (who knows his Guinness) had said to me that this tastes more like a dry lager than the Stout. I’d go with his judgement. It is still quite awesome though.

I purchased this today from a local Spec’s (liquor, fine wine, fine food, and beer) store.

There is a ring label around the neck that says “limited edition 250″ with the Arthur Guinness signature behind it. It is creme coloured with silver trim. The cap is black with the Guinness title and the harp device above it with silver trim on the lip. The labels shown above are dead on. The bottle itself has the harp device and the Guinness title on an outward embossing. I’ve yet to taste it, I’ll let you all know once I have. I will be saving one of the bottles for preservation (250 of St. James Gate…that’s worth preserving).

The thing that makes me think it won’t be up to our standards is the

“premium” and “refreshing”

part of the back label-blurb which makes me think its going to be even more Guinness-light than Guinness already is.

11.2 oz = 330 ml, or 1/3rd of a liter. It’s a common European bottle size.
