About this beer
This is the 3rd of 4 labels we have from Guinness. It is one of 3 dry / irish stout labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries nitro on the front. It's imported by DIAGEO BEER COMPANY USA; its label was approved for US sale.
A winter scene dominates the right panel: a steam locomotive and tender wind through snow-covered mountains, evergreen trees, and a village with lit windows, all rendered in gold outlines and cream, ice-blue, and burgundy accents against a black starfield. The left panel shows the iconic Guinness harp in cream with black striping, a poured pint glass below it, and the brewery location and beer name in white serif capitals. The composition frames the holiday landscape as a limited-edition design, with hand-drawn linework throughout and visible metallic gold printing.
From the label“Upon opening, the famous round plastic widget in every can unleashes nitrogen through the beer, creating the creamy head and iconic surge that's distinctively Guinness. To best enjoy: open the can and wait a moment for the nitrogen to release. Pour into a glass tilted at 45 degrees. Watch the surge and settle and then enjoy.”
