No contest. Definitely the canned Guinness (assuming it's the 50L can).

Taste them both and let us know what you think.

Why take our word for it?

It's not a question of bottle or can, it's a question of which version
of Guinness. My personal favourite is the "Foreign Extra Stout" version,
be it in cans or bottles. Weighing in a 7,5% ABV or so, it is a mix of
young and aged beer, which has a very nice winey edge to it, rich and
complex.

On a sidenote, the 8% "Special Export" version originally meant for the
Belgian market isn't too bad either.

Cheers !

Laurent

Look at the label. If you're in New York, USA and it has the widget it will
be made where it should be made. (ah, Mothers Milk...) Now if it's just the
plain bottled stuff, odds are it's made in CANADA !!!!!! I pointed this out
to a Guinness salesman and he didn't even know about it. Now the difference
between canned and bottled widgets is hard to say. I prefer the bottled but
still have some getting used to the "Serve ICED Cold" on the label. Now the
difference between Canadian and the "real thing" is pretty plain to tell.
More body, richer flavor and head, slight smokiness in the REAL GUINNESS !!!
I'm sorry, but Canadian brewed Guinness is well.... Well it d*mn well sucks
and it shouldn't even be called Guinness ! By the way the widgets have come
in a variety of shapes... flat discs anchored on the bottom, round balls,
and the finned torpedo type. They all have the small hole and blow gas to
produce the nitrogenous head. Hope I helped.
