Guinness is horrible.

Guiness Stout out of a bottle leaves quite a bite to be desired (definitely an 'aquired' taste).

Guiness Draft in a can is leaps and bounds ahead of the Stout imo, but still not something I personaly want to put away 3 or 4 in a row when parched (a bit of an after taste).

Guiness on tap, U.S.A...creamy, smooth, but still with a hint of aftertaste that keeps me from wanting 3 or more pints in a row.

Guiness on tap, Ireland...liquid gold :beer:...Brings a tear to my eye. We looked at our watches at 9:30-10:00 in the morning wondering if it was too early to stop in a Pub for lunch just so we could have a couple pints. And believe me, it didn't matter what they had to eat. Typically what the Irish call ham salad sandwiches and vegetable soup (which could be anything from pub to pub) was a meal fit for a king if it came with a pint of Guiness.

8 to 10 pints when out for a few hours at Foxes Pub was common place. It was a beautiful thing, beer in Ireland (not just the Guiness...Smithicks, Carlsburg, even the Heineken tasted much cleaner)

I will go back, and the beer is mostly the reason why. I hope the Guiness brewery is still there when I return.

:cheers:

The Guinness Stout of out a bottle that you're referring to is probably Guinness Extra Stout. It's not the same beer as Guinness Draught (either on tap or in the pub cans) as it's about 2% higher in alcohol and has more roasted barley and bitterness. I also prefer the Draught over the Extra Stout.

When I visited the St. James Gate Brewery about a year ago they insisted that the Guinness we get in the states is the exact same stuff they serve in Ireland. The only difference being that we don't get it fresh and it gets tossed around on the ocean for a few weeks. But I agree, a pint of Guinness in Dublin is as close to heaven as I'll ever get. I averaged 10 pints a day when I was there. Couldn't get enough of it. :beer:
