Irish Stout
Not just a beer — an institution. Guinness pours dark and creamy, with a roasted-barley bitterness and that unmistakable smooth, nitro-poured head.

🏆Brewed at St. James's Gate, Dublin since 1759🏆Roasted barley gives its dark colour and coffee notes
In 1759 Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the St. James's Gate brewery. The recipe's roasted, unmalted barley is what gives Guinness its near-black colour and dry, coffee-like bitterness, while the nitrogen pour builds that famous creamy head.

Questions
Why is Guinness so creamy?
It is served with nitrogen rather than only carbon dioxide, which creates tiny bubbles and the signature smooth, creamy head and mouthfeel.
Does it taste of coffee?
There are distinct coffee and dark-chocolate notes, which come from roasted unmalted barley — balanced by a dry, gently bitter finish.
