My Goodness

Hey everyone, welcome back to a St. Patrick's day edition of Younge's Beer Review. By way of addressing my pattern of absence for the last few weeks off and on, I'm officially changing this weekly review to a monthly one (saving money, and watching my beer intake!) Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the official beer of this month.

Would you expect anything else?
Of course, it's Guiness! I haven't done an honest to god Stout in a little while, and it's certainly the season. Tastes a bit nutty, with a strong but not quite bitter finish. The nose out of the bottle is chocolaty, giving the drinker an impression that it for dessert. Finally, the lingering taste after the finish is a bit tangy and metallic. Overall, it's quite good, although there are several better Stouts out there. For a decent staple of St. Patrick's day, however, i'll give Guiness Extra Stout a 7/10.

Until next time.
