Anyone else notice that Guiness has a very limited shelf life. I've brewed a stout or two over the years and don't recall them going bad quickly, but I have a twelve pack of Guiness bottles (with the sudser thingy inside) I've had for a few months and kept on ice and it now has that mild cider taste and the maltiness is gone, telltale signs of good beer gone bad.

Yep I have noticed, it might be because its such a light beer. Plus who knows if that widget does anything to it over time or not?

I haven't noticed it, but wouldn't doubt it. I wonder if it has anything to do with pasteurization. Even my light beers are fine months later.

i have never had Guinness last 2 weeks in my house, i also prefer the cans over the bottles.

i could never accept the bottles. possibly because i dont like change, or maybe b/c i like my pint glass full.

I gotta admit I don't care for it as much as I use to years ago. I don't know if its just because its not so "out of the box" as it was on my younger palate. Or if the recipe has been slightly altered making a more watered down product? Something just doesn't seem right with it these days. I also have to agree though that the cans taste better then the bottles for some odd reason.

The widget bottles aren't meant to be poured; you're "supposed" to drink them straight from the bottle (which is reason enough not to like them).

Probably just marketing hype to get you to accept 11.2 ounces in a beer...'course, a 14.9 oz can won't get you a full proper pint glass, either

Have you tried Three Floyds Black Sun Stout? I prefer it well over Guinness for the style.

OT: Three Floyds has yet to make a mediocre beer, at least, not one that I've sampled and I've tried everything I've found. They are my favorite brewery pound for pound, just wish their beers were easier to find and were a tad cheaper, but I can't blame anyone for charging more for a superior product.
