GUINNESS WEST INDIES PORTER

The difference between waterier Guinness Dublin Porter and bolder West Indies Porter is almost negligible on the surface. West Indies ancient recipe offers a dryer mouthfeel, higher ABV (6%), bitterer coffee affluence and deeper charred hop tarring. Nutty black chocolate malting, reminiscent of Guinness Stout, drops off substantially as chalky cocoa astringency and ashen walnut sear back end bottled moderate-to-medium-bodied mediocity.

GUINNESS DUBLIN PORTER

Mild, smooth and watered down, soapy 3.8% ABV bottled porter (from ancient recipe) lacks distinction as nutty dark-roasted black chocolate malting and charred hop bittering prove insufficient. Sedate coffee, pumpernickel, burnt caramel, raw molasses and black tea illusions receive earthen mineral-grained musk. Disappointing.
