what's all the hype about Guinness? personally i think it tastes like it's stayed in a barrel too long.

its just a good tasting, dark beer. something you dont see too much of here. dont drink it from the can or bottle. if its not on draught, its not the same, and not worth it.

It can be pretty horrible from the tap, too, depending on the bar. The first Guinness I had when I came back to the states (after a london and dublin trip) tasted like turpentine.
Fortunately, there were better bars.

So true. Have to try a few places because some places serve it either cold or flat. Cold because they are stupid and flat because they've left it on tap too long. Should be warm and just tapped. Then you can't go wrong.

Quick question: Guinness in a bottle (with the widget) tastes much better when chilled (IMO), and they even recommend you keep it well chilled, what makes that different from a normal cup of draught which is said to be better warm?

The can with the little CO2 cartridge in it is fine as long as it is properly chilled and poured properly.
Guiness is the bread of the gods. If you don't like it, go back to your Bud Ice and wine coolers :disgust:

Actually, Guiness from the bottles tastes great. I dont know what shimsham is talking about... it's gotta be from the bottles with the off-white necks though. TORPEDO WIDGET!
