I found your question not in the least  "silly" as has been stated, on the contrary I was curious to find out the answer, so I checked up with Wiki who seems to know a thing or two.  He explained that a portion of the barley used is roasted and it is this that gives Guinness its dark colour and characteristic taste.

I trust you find my answer in a positive spirit and wish you "Cheers".
