in realtà la guiness (che è una birra industriale ma abbastanza decente... si può bere stout moltooo più buone in Italia esempio brasseria della fonte) è più sul caffè/cioccolato, viene dalla combinazione del malto chocolate + roasted
di solito in percentuali non superiori al 10 % del totale di malti ma molto caratterizzanti.
la liquirizia non è propio nelle note delle stout... ma ve beh sarà una loto interpretazione....

Overall Impression
A black beer with a pronounced roasted flavor, often similar to coffee. The balance can range from fairly even to quite bitter, with the more balanced versions having a little malty sweetness and the bitter versions being quite dry. Draught versions typically are creamy from a nitro pour, but bottled versions will not have this dispense-derived character. The roasted flavor can be dry and coffee-like to somewhat chocolaty.
Flavor
Moderate roasted grain or malt flavor with a medium to high hop bitterness. The finish can be dry and coffee-like to moderately balanced with a touch of caramel or malty sweetness. Typically has coffee-like flavors, but also may have a bittersweet or unsweetened chocolate character in the palate, lasting into the finish. Balancing factors may include some creaminess, medium-low to no fruitiness, and medium to no hop flavor (often earthy). The level of bitterness is somewhat variable, as is the roasted character and the dryness of the finish; allow for interpretation by brewers.
in effetti cosi giovane sembra proprio di mordere il legnetto della liquirizia di una volta... lo odiavo , ma almeno svapandolo non ti rimane tra i denti ahahaha
