Guinness Antwerpen Stout
« on: February 19, 2017, 09:40:08 am »
I just tasted the Antwerpen Stout from Guinness at the Cincinnati Winterfest this weekend and can report that it is an outstanding beer. Having just had the Guinness Extra Stout a month ago, I recognized that the Antwerpen Stout amps up the gravity and the richness of the dark fruit flavor. I feel its well worth your investigation.

At that same event, they also had their Rye Pale Ale and its OK. Not bad, but nothing to seek out.

While I was writing this message, I visited the Guinness website and see that they have a bunch of beers that I haven't seen on the shelves or taps. After tasting the Antwerpen, I'll be more open to trying them.

Enjoy!

I actually really enjoy Guinness extra stout. One of my favorite commercial beers. I feel like I would like their regular more, but I really just don't like nitro.

I've had bottles of the extra stout that are delicious, and others that are underwhelming. Its the kind of beer that is sometimes the best available option, but nothing I seek out.

I have had my eye on the Antwerpen Stout but have hesitated pulling the trigger. I'll probably pick some up on my next trip to Total Wine.

Thanks Martin.
