Do you like Guiness?

[Herbsman.]

If you love it so much, learn how to spell it

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Other beers such as John Smith's "Extra Smooth" and Tetley's "Smoothflow" are also nitro keg beers and there is none of this "199.53 seconds for the perfect pint" or 2 stage pours for them. The 2 stage pour is an integral part of the Guinness marketing on the other hand.

So make of that what you will.

Well I like my John Smiths to be given the two stage as well and in most places I go to I seem to remember the bar people doing it this way. Well as many as do the guinness that way anyway.

Bugger! I clicked too soon. I clicked on No. And then submitted it. But then I saw "I'm a girl and I love top gear lol" and I want to click that too.

Im fairly sure the only people who have clicked that so far are blokes. Man we are funny.

Who said that people didn't drink it because they didn't like the taste of it? No accounting for taste, as the inexplicable popularity of Mickey Bubbles, Simply Red and many others shows.

The disappointing thing is that keg Guinness doesn't even have that much of a distinctive taste. And even less so now as they try and attract younger drinkers in developed markets by serving the drink ever colder.

It doesn't really have much of a taste, no. But I don't *want* a taste explosion in my beer, as lot as it has *some* taste and I don't feel I might as well be drinking dishwater. When I get bored with a particular not-very-distinctive taste I switch to another beer.

If I wanted to drink something for the taste I'd order a pint of soup tbh.

lol

thats retarded

I think it's this weird mixture of dark and foamy, yet bland and watery, all at the same time.

 

[electrogirl]

oooh I'm electrogirl and I've been to dublin, I really like guinness. have you seen all my photos on facebook of me and my friends drinking guinness?

WELL HAVE YOU?



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh why I oughtta.

Those pictures of us drinking Guiness are the only very flimsy evidence that we were actually in Ireland. There are NO pictures of any lovely Irish scenery or museums, just pubs. We look like the epitome of english guinesslouts.

I got fat when I drunk Guinness.

Well I doubt it had anything to do with the Guiness as if you had actually read the very interesting fact in my op, it has less calories than lager. Unless you drink gin and slimline now?

It's because spoons only do the extra cold guinness, which is shite.

I don't understand how you can say you like guinness if you only have it with stoopid blackcurrant in it. You don't actually like guinness, you just like guinness and black.

I'm ashamed of you.

Does extracold taste of bacon then? Weird. Why did they make it like that?

Yes I like Guiness and Black and it likes me and we are very very happy.

Has anyone said 'It tastes like it has bits in'? Because I think it tastes like it had bits in

Bacon bits?

Putting blackcurrant in it should be a capital offence.

Your face should eb a capital offense

I don't know what 'Guiness' is. Is it a new drink? I quite like Guinness, which is a rather tasty stout.

Probably the least tasty stout I've tried apart from double chocolate stout, which just tasted like chocolate. But it's better than nothing.

Ha yes have I spelled it wrong? I kind of know I have but I still can't see how it is wrong, even though I know it is, weird.

I had a chocolate stout once and it tasted of chocolate and I thought, yes, good work, at least you did what you said on the tin unlike wetherspoons guiness which made no suggestion on the packaging that it was going to taste of bacon.

This.

But when did you last see Herbsman not whinging about something?

 

[electrogirl]

He's a right Miser Minelli.

 

[dodgepot]

i was about to say about the same time as i last saw FLB! not whinging about something, but then i rememered her pole dancing thread

We don't talk about the pole dancing thread.

How have I reached 60 years of age before discovering the strong, intense delights of this drink?



OMFG, I love Ikeja's finest 7.5%

 

[Chilli.s]

This one is great too:

This one is great too:

Yep, you're not wrong; that's great and I've often bought a few bottles from the shops...but the Nigerian has to be the crystal meth of stout.

 

[Joe Chi Min]

Me back in November

I’d love to try that porter

You have to get the big bottles. The little ones aren't as much fun.

Mrs B literally said 5 mins ago that she's not letting me have any of the larger ones!

 

[kalidarkone]

I don't like it. Even in Ireland. Its OK as a supplement. I had the odd half when I was pregnant.

Maybe you'd fare better with the nectar of Hythe; Mackeson milk stout?

 

[bcuster]

they have nitrogenated Guiness cans in the US. i used to like those...

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I don't mind it. There's loads of superior porters though. It's like the Carling of stouts.

 

[jontz01]

In 2009 I voted no.

I'd like to retract that vote because just last week I was chatting with a friend over a pint. We concurred that despite the offerings of real ales, porters, fancy pants ipa's and everything in between; nothing at all beats a pint of Guinness.

There are better porters. But for quaffability....

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Allegedly it's amazing in Ireland. A different drink. If so, why don't they just export that here?

 

[Callie]

I had no idea that was from Hythe! Thought it was Scottish

 

[Callie]

I think maybe in terms of accessibility Guinness is good. I'd rather have a half of Guinness that a pint of Carling/fosters warreva and they tend to be available in the same places. That said though id probably hit the spirits mixers.


Time for a stupid stout???
