<Li> Brew 39 was sold in Dublin from late 2005 until early 2006 . It had the same alcohol content (ABV) as Guinness Draught, used the same gas mix and settled in the same way, but had a slightly different taste . Many found it to be lighter in taste, somewhat closer to Beamish stout than standard Irish Guinness . </Li> <Li> Toucan Brew was introduced in May 2006 . It was named after the cartoon toucan used in many Guinness advertisements . This beer had a crisper taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste due to its triple - hopped brewing process . </Li> <Li> North Star was introduced in October 2006 and sold into late 2007 . Three million pints of North Star were sold in the latter half of 2007 . </Li> <P> Despite an announcement in June 2007 that the fourth Brewhouse stout would be launched in October that year, no new beer appeared and, at the end of 2007, the Brewhouse series appeared to have been quietly cancelled . </P>

Other than taste and texture how is guinness beer different from other beers
