As the name implies,Guinness Black Lager pours practically black with about a finger of some light tan head. Head dissipates after a minute or so, and leaves a little lacong

The appearance is deceiving, since the malty nose is similar to a lot of American lagers, but there is a hint of some darker roasted malt aromas.

Taste is similar with a dark Guinness look and a much lighter, crisper taste. Some slight chocolate and coffee flavors, but they are very light, and bitterness is low.

Light and crisp body, what you expect from a lighter colored lager.

A interesting combination of the Guinness look with only a hint of the darker, roasted malt flavors that Guinness is so well known for. This maybe as close to a Guinness Light as you can get.
