Guinness Extra Stout & Guinness Draught - TheFoamingHead's Beer Reviews Volume 1 Episode 10

[philyB08]

Give beamish a go,you can get stronger stout than Guiness, although i love Guiness for any occasion.

[DROIDJR]

ipswich oatmeal stout beats the shit out of this stout

[SebastienCade]

I much prefer the Extra Stout. The Draught is more creamy and less carbonated, which I don't like.

[carlose0318]

i personally like them both. i drink Draught when I'm in the mood for something a little lighter and Extra Stout when I really feel like having something with that signature Guiness roasted flavor. I'm just a big fan of Guiness in general... nice review!

[opmike343]

The Extra Stout is a damn fine brew. The Draught in the can and/or bottle tastes like cold, watered-down coffee.

[TheFoamingHead]

@opmike343 Agreed.

[isamtator]

The extra stout was the drink I baught myself, at 2 am when I turned 21 when I got off work!

[Donavan68]

The way the bottle drought is designed, you can drink it straight from the bottle, it can even taste better then when you glass it.

[nyyankfan05]

I'm not drinking Guinness from the fucking Canadians. I want it from St. James gate where it belongs, therefore the Draught is better.

[PatriotAr15]

I find Extra Stout to be too bitter. I love Draught. I will never drink Extra Stout.

[SLOTERXX]

there is foreign stout and original guinness the foreign stout is 7 something per cent

[ranchy888]

Great video, bud. I like extra stout better. Draught is too creamy

[TheFoamingHead]

@ranchy888 Thank you, and fair enough.

[fatsachs]

Guinness is an insult to stouts.

[TheFoamingHead]

@fatsachs I wouldn't go that far. Have you had the Foreign version?

[fatsachs]

@TheFoamingHead Nah, too busy drinking real beers. ;)

[trentislegend2]

It has been said but I'll say it too... The bottle Draught was specifically made for bottle drinkers. It wasn't meant to be poured in a glass. The canned Draught on the other hand is meant to be poured in a glass. Cheers. Guinness is GOOD for you!

[TheFoamingHead]

@trentislegend2 I have heard that. Can you explain exactly why it should be poured in the bottle? Is there a reason? I have heard them all but nothing has convinved me it HAS to be poured in the bottle. 

[TangerineGroovin]

whats your favorite beer?

[TheFoamingHead]

@TangerineGroovin Whats the weather? What am I eating?

[TangerineGroovin]

youre a pro man. beer critic

[TheFoamingHead]

@TangerineGroovin Thank you, always appreciate the feedback.

[nohnamer1]

[TheFoamingHead]

@nohnamer1 I do?

[nohnamer1]

@TheFoamingHead yea sorry lol

[justaman6972]

its my beer and I'll pour it in a glass if I wanna!

[TheFoamingHead]

@justaman6972 I agree! Just not sure what you are talking about.

[justaman6972]

@TheFoamingHead i was posting about the comment concerning pouring guiness draft bottles into a glass ,pfft I like my beer in a glass. 

[resin807]

@TheFoamingHead i think he is talking about the draught bottle, on the bottle it self it recomends to drink strait from the bottle

[SICKDOG903]

@TheFoamingHead ur supposed to drink these in the bottle

[ledoggy]

I prefer the more chocolatey taste of the draught to the extra stout... greatly prefer, actually.

[Broyale26]

I just got done putting down an Extra Stout right before I commented. You ain't lyin about the strength. Its got abit more bite upfront against the regular draught, especially when I pull a fresh cold one out the fridge. Can't really go wrong with either one when you put it with some meat lovers thin crust pizza or buffalo wings with ranch sauce.

[ThaMitz]

would've like to have seen this review comparing the guinness varieties

[nodnarbdoowron]

when i had the regular draught at tha bar, i really was expecting a whole lot more. something really thick, knock your socks off huge flavor. but really i was dissapointed when i tasted it. tasted like roasted water..... and teh fact that it was creamy made it worse cause its like they are trying to cover the weak taste up with the creamyness. ima put it like this, tommyknockers cocoa porter blew it away and its a porter lol. maybe im bein a lil too harsh tho

[smrfox99]

If you hold Guinness up to the light, it's actually a dark red.

[kelvarus]

Pretty well is exactly the same. Good Review. I think everyone agrees with the assessment that the Draught is alright but there are better versions (and better stouts) out there.

[TheFoamingHead]

I just had the o' hara's Irish Stout and absolutely loved it.

[ZiGGyMaidEN]

Defiantly! O'Hara's is a veery powerful dark stout. much stronger than Guinnes in flavour. very nice beer

[archangelmai]

250 Brew isn't available anymore, I got to try it at the Scottish Games in New York last summer, been meaning to upload the video from it.

[archangelmai]

You tried for the perfect pour, but forgot that the bottle is only 11.2 oz.. Best beer hands down!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

Great review i haven't seen the bottled Guinness Draught in Denmark, i think we only get the canned version, but i prefer the Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. Cheers!!

[Tantrum777]

its a mistake to use the bottle the canned one is the one you pour into a glass if you read the label it says "pour into glass" and "drink from the bottle" this is why I never buy the bottle one unless its the extra one. I think Guinness Draught is the best light beer in the world so I would give it at least a b- maybe a b.

[TheFoamingHead]

Check the description for a little information as well as my reason for pouring the Draught into a glass.

[elharlock]

Really good review.

[Chad9976]

I used to have that same shirt. Think it comes with one of the glasses and a hat.

I liked the Extra Stout the best, then 250, then regular Draught.

Yeah, the draught is really watery and thin and very mild tasting. The Extra is better.

Totally agree with the ratings on this.

Great video!

[Chad9976]

You're not supposed to pour out the bottle version of the Draught (the canned version is meant to be poured out). I got trolled hardcore because I poured out the bottle.

[elharlock]

Fuck those people. Pouring out is the way to go. The "no pour" thing is a marketing gimmick for idiots... go figure they would be the ones to troll you.:)

[Chad9976]

@elharlock LOL! Yeah I don't really see how the nitro widget would affect the taste whether poured out or sucked from the bottle.

When I re-reviewed the canned version the first thing I noticed was it tasted pretty much exactly the same as the bottle version.
