I haven't tried it yet, but I'm very curious to taste the differences! Interesting how it isn't going to be available to their domestic market? Wonder why. Cheers!

It's good, but nothing too spectacular to my taste buds. I prefer Guiness on draft. I found some 250 recently. It’s good, but nothing too spectacular to my taste buds. I prefer Guiness on draft.

Wife likes it as well, and she does not like Guinness draught. I’ve had the 250 Stout and it is delicious. Wife likes it as well, and she does not like Guinness draught.

Much better than normal Guiness, which I already liked. Surprising how different it is. Got a 6 of the 250 year. It is very tasty. Much better than normal Guiness, which I already liked.

All things with time... The one thing I find really intruiging by Guinness is the effect temperature has on it's taste. Maybe it's in my head but I've tested this theory on a lot of friends and the results are pretty universal - when it's served cold (colder than most taps in North America), it becomes less bitter and more nutty. Very few pubs keep it cold enough (or warm enough if you are ultra traditional) and I've found that people who find it rich will actually find it much more "drinkable" when chilled further. The UK has an EXTRA cold version which is essentially the same beer except they chill the lines all the way to the tap to keep it cold. THey also have a draft product called Guiness Red in some areas which is similar to Guiness with a bit of amber in it. Been too long to offer a taste profile though :) Thanks for the blog, learned quite a bit, Joel It took me some time, initially to convert to the “strong” taste of Guiness – like you, I now find it to be on the mild side.
