Just sampled it...I don't see how this can carry the "stout" label....MikeRLynch's opinion above definitely holds water as far as I can tell. All the rich, dry, roasty quality of the Draught has been watered down. To me this stuff is a half-assed porter, at best.
That said, it's not bad. I'd classify it as a "dark summer beer", and as such, it should be about $25/case. Unfortunately, around here it's going for about $11/sixxer. Utter horse****e. Hard to believe that Guinness chose this to commerate their 250th anniversary.
If you can't tell, I'm dissappointed.
IMO, While the bottled Draught and the Extra Stout are OK, Guinness should stick to distributing their normal draught stout to bars who know how to serve it properly (on nitro). That's where Guinness just really shines.
