Guinness Original Extra Stout – 500ml Can

The Original Guinness: Crisp, Sharp, and Unmistakably Bold.

Experience the stout that started it all. Guinness Original is a direct descendant of the porter first brewed by Arthur Guinness at the legendary St. James’s Gate brewery in 1759. This 500ml can holds a beer of true character, celebrated for its crisp, sharp taste and clean, refreshing finish. It’s a timeless classic, perfect for those who appreciate a stout with a bit more bite.

A Legacy of Brewing Excellence: Long before the creamy texture of Guinness Draught became famous, there was Guinness Original. This is the authentic, carbonated stout that has been enjoyed for generations. It is brewed using the finest quality malt, hops, and Irish barley, with a portion of the barley roasted to give the beer its iconic dark colour and distinctive bittersweet, roasted flavour. It’s a taste that is sharp, refreshing, and rich in brewing history.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: A famously dark, almost black, liquid with a rich and frothy tan-coloured head.
• Nose: A complex and aromatic nose with notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet malt.
• Palate: A crisp and sharp palate with a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The initial roasted character gives way to a bittersweet smoothness and a refreshing bite from the carbonation.
• Finish: A clean, dry, and satisfyingly crisp finish.

The Perfect Pint of History: The 500ml can is the ideal way to enjoy a perfectly portioned pint of this legendary stout. For the best experience that’s a guaranteed classic here in Halesowen, serve it ice-cold. Pour into a pint glass to appreciate its deep colour and rich head. It’s the perfect, flavourful pint to enjoy with rich, hearty food or simply on its own.
