What temp did you have it at, I went to this one "ye old english" pub and got me a Guinness and it was so cold I think I got frostbite from it. Didn't really taste like much let alone a nice Guinness, had to leave it for a while before taking another sip!
I love good stout. On my opinion, Guiness in the US is not good. It's watery and tasteless and overly drank by people who THINK the like good beer. Ia bar accessory like an Abercrombie belt.

I don't buy that...The Guinness in the U.S. is brewed in Dublin. Just like the stuff for Ireland...
From their website:
Quote:
GUINNESS® is GUINNESS® - wherever you are. We always use pure, fresh water from natural local sources for the GUINNESS® stout brewed outside Ireland. That said, in blind tests (with a bunch of highly cynical journalists) none of our sample could tell the difference between Irish-brewed GUINNESS® and the locally produced variety. All the GUINNESS® sold in the UK, Ireland and North America is brewed in Ireland at the historic St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin.
Now if you have it on draught at a bar that has very low turnover, it may be 'old', but that is another story.

I got mine at a grocery store that I know has good beer turnover on things like Guinness. It was the regular Gunness Draught in the bottles with the widget. Maybe I should give the Extra Stout a try and see if it doesn't taste as watery and weak.
