Long time drinker of Guinness and also Heineken, for Guinness, always had it with coke, if you intend to try it like this, be cautious, can creep up on you, takes time to get used to the combo, but once you get hooked, thats it just got to get past the yewww phase, it will go away and then keep enjoying.
I love dark beers, but guinness just has a really weak flavor
no - i've tried to like it since it's a popular beer but it's just too heavy for my taste. i've even tried drinking black and tans and that didn't work.
when i was in dublin i figured that it was the right thing to drink, but after a few sips of one, i felt so full and the taste wasn't really my thing either. oh well. at least i had a nice trip to the guiness factory!
swertygirl's right.
That's a pint for the Royal Oak, in Oxford, UK; a pint for Ashley's in Ann Arbor, MI; and a pint for Cambridge Common, in Cambridge, MA. I guess I should probably eat dinner, as those pints are going to hit pretty hard soon.
Guinness is pretty much the only *beer* that I drink. I depise lagers, and don't like pale ales. I like them dark and rich... like stouts, Guinness, and really dark ales. And Strongbow.... but who doesn't like Strongbow?
Raise a pint for your local pub - the Severn Gorge in Telford UK!!!
While I like the occasional beer, Guinness is far down my list. I prefer lagers, ales, or German Hefeweizen, or some of the Belgian specialties, like Gueuze.
I think the cream on top is just dirty, really greasy... The beer itself is quite bitter and it is not high in alcohol. The shamrock they draw in the layer of cream is quite cute. I sometimes work in a café where they serve Guinness and it is very difficult to draw that shamrock =) I prefer Belgian beer actually, Stella for example. I hope that Belgian beers will be more available in the US since Anheuscher Busch became a part of InBev because they are really good!
