Product description

Guinness Draught Stout is the original nitrogen-infused beer. Although to the uninitiated, it can look dark and heavy, it actually tastes deliciously light and smooth, swirling with notes of roasted barley, caramel, coffee and chocolate. The net result is a flavorful stout that’s as approachable as a lager — which it has long been one of the world’s great pub beers. Another surprise is its low-calorie count, just 126 calories for a 12-ounce serve. That’s just 15 calories less than a typical light beer.

FAQs

Guinness is created, like all beers, from grain. In the case of Guinness, the specific grain used is barley, which is malted and then roasted, giving Guinness its well known distinct color. For being a stout-style beer, it’s actually not much higher in calories than lighter beers. The average calories and carbohydrates per every 12-ounce (355 milliliters) is 125 calories and 10 grams of carbohydrates. This is due in part to the alcohol content of Guinness being lower than most stouts, at an ABV of 4.2%. Lastly, the beer does provide a minute source of 1 gram of protein with zero grams of fat.
Guinness is a stout that consistently surprises people as a light(ish) beer. Guinness likely has this light quality because of the previously mentioned ABV of 4.2%, a lower ABV than many stouts, which can easily have ABV percentages well above eight and even ten percent. In fact, most light beers have a similar or slightly higher ABV than Guinness. However, if you are new to Guinness, make sure you are enjoying Guinness Draught and not Guinness Extra Stout, as the latter has an ABV of approximately two times that of the Guinness Draught.
Yes, and this applies to all forms of Guinness, including the original Guinness Draught stout. Guinness is a perfect “secret” ingredient to many recipes because of its light finish yet dark and slightly chocolate taste which fills the mouth with a welcome aroma of roasted grains, a practical and inviting addition to a variety of recipes and levels of culinary experience. From adding a  delightful enhancement to desserts to marinating your favorite cut of beef or pork, Guinness stimulates culinary creativity. The recipes for Guinness emerge from amateur cooking blogs to professional food organizations.
