I remember back when Burts first brought out their Guinness crisps, the review was a little mixed to say the least! see HERE.

Here they've done something I didn't expect - bring out another Guinness crisp with another flavour on top!

And I have to say, as much as I was against the Guinness crisp before - it adds a good base to this crisp, a deep smokey flavour that sits really well with the chilli. Beef flavouring comes in the form of onion, paprika, spices and tomato. There's a bit of sweetness through the tomato that brings another level to the flavour. Chilli is nice and deep but not overpowering or painful.

I'm impressed! Will there be more?

7/10

I've roped in a Guinness lover (Dom) for this review, as I feel that a review will differ depending on your love or hate for Guinness.



Guinness lover:

These crisps are not 'Extra Smooth' - they're delightfully crispy. The distinct burnt flavour is more typical of Guiness Extra Stout than it's widgeted counterpart. I look forward to enjoying these formidable savoury snacks over the cold months ahead in their natural habitat of olde english pubs. Their stylishly veiled black visage draped over an english oak table. Full on flavour, for the Guinness lover 8/10.



Guinness hater: 

I'm having moments of confused liking and moments of extreme disgust here. A few over seasoned crisps taste to me like i've stuck my tongue up a chimney, but the rest are not too bad.. i'm pretty surprised, as a Guinness hater to be munching my way through this pack.
I think they're a bit like Marmite, you either love them or you hate them... the thing is I can't decide which one is me. I hate marmite and I love twiglets like I love air. At some points I hate this flavour and at other points it gives you something similar to a dulled down twiglet.  For me it's 3/10.
