Guinness Red Harvest Stout
I love how a nitro brew's head fills up the whole glass and then slowly dissipates. Red Harvest Stout's got that little nitro ball that gives it a creamy smooth consistency - the color is a dark coppery red, with the head a dark eggshell hue. Lots of sweet caramel malts, not a lot of hoppiness, some nuttiness on the back end. Not what I'd call a Stout, more like a heavy Irish Red crossed with Scottish Ale - but who cares? It's a great Autumn Ale. At 4.1% ABV, it's definitely session material: not very heavy, but full flavored.
