Does anyone here find Guiness.....

[garyjacosta]

Complaining about Guiness is on the level of complaining about God. Pure Heresy!

Of course, I don't believe in God. But at least I KNOW my Guiness exists! And it is damn tasty at that.

I tend not to like Guiness on its own. I usually find it a little too bitter and I prefer American lagers like Yuengling.

Irish car bombs, however, are delicious and must be tried.

In case you don't know, you pour some Guiness into a pint (or similarly sized) glass. You then take a shot of half irish cream, half irish whiskey and drop it in the Guiness. As soon as you drop it in, you chug the Guiness and it tastes like a milkshake. A delicious, booze-filled milkshake.

That right there is your problem. It's rare that a person likes Guiness on their first tasting. It's one of those beers you'll just come to appreciate in time. Don't give up on it though. I didn't like it the first time I had it either, but now it's a staple of my beer drinking diet.

The bigger problem is that he had a bottle and not a pint from the keg. If you must drink it in non-draft form, it should be from a can.

Also, you people need to learn how to spell Guinness.

Another guiness based drink is black velvet guiness and cider I think.

I havent tried it in Ireland but its meant to be a completely different drink to what is sold in the rest of the world I think it is thicker, can also try Beamish Black similar type of thing not as well known.

Guniss is not thick at all, its actually comparable macronutrient-wise to most light beers here in America. Its just that the its brewed with burnt hops, making it look dark.

Burnt hops??? No, it's brewed with roasted barley.

Also, let's not forget about black and tans, half guiness, half harp.

And does anyone else have a problem with the fact that all of the names for guiness drinks have to do with the war in northern ireland?

It is not an opinon, you can scientfically prove that Guiness is not thick.

How is that not an opinion? lol

[PoBoy321]

I suppose that you could measure its viscosity (sp?) and then set a standard of what constitutes thick.

And how would you choose this standard?

most people don't like guinness the first time they try it. every american goes to ireland and says "oh yeah guinness great beer!" then they try it, think it sucks, but say its great anyway. theyre idiots.

i was like that too once, i got to ireland and was all excited about it, and when i first had it i thought it was awful. but after you drink 10-15 pints of it in a couple days it becomes awesome. its my favorite beer. part of that might be that i dont get to drink it very often, so its kind of a special treat. if i could drink it more than one month a year i would drink it year round and it might wear off.

its horrible in the US though. i really, really, really hate americans who buy it in the states and say its awesome, theyre idiots. first they probably dont have the taste for it and are just posing, and second they are drinking crap guinness anyway.
