Guinness Dublin Porter

Guinness expand into the craft beer market

Based on a recipe from 1796, Dublin Porter is one of two craft beers released last year by the folks at St James Gate Brewery. Aimed at the ever expanding and highly lucrative market, this beer is 3.8% volume and comes in a 500ml bottle. 

On initial pour it is the familiar deep dark Guinness colour, which looks strange due to the absent creamy head and the additional presence of some light bubbles and fizz. On the nose the initial scent is lighter and not as rich as the black stuff we are used to. 

The first mouthful is interrupted by the fizz on the tongue, but the strange sensation passes and although this is lighter than the stout it is not indifferent in taste. The after taste is familiar and appetising enough to drink the rest of the pint 

This strikes us as being a good entry drink for anyone unfamiliar with the acquired taste of of the famous black stuff. It's drinkable, yet slightly weak, Guinness substitute. Nice enough for a pint or two but it won't sway us from the Irish legend that is Arthur. Kudos though for Guinness making the effort though, miles better than the crap that is Guinness American Lager
