AND... Guinness Draught is my favorite dry stout also. Personally, I could give a rat's a$$ what anyone thinks about that too
My favorite Oatmeal Stout was from a brewpub though.

It is possible, however unlikely, that your 2 favorite stouts both happen to be by guinness......but just statistically speaking, what are the odds????
I am glad to hear that you have at least tried other stouts.
And yes, you are entitled to think what you want.
Next St Patty's day, try a schlafly extra stout (they only brew it around then ) and if there is any way possible, it is on me!
If I survive the hurricane, I'll go buy 20 different stouts, I promise!

Good luck. Here in podunk Illinois we don't have hurricanes or 20 different stouts.

Well which is it?
Is it the abundance of stout or the constant hurricanes that resulted in your uncommon sense?
+1...and there's just something about that little bit of sour mash that makes Guinness special...

Yeah, that's not true. I lived in Cork for six months, and while there were some bars that were murphys only, there were a lot more that sold a ton of Guinness. That's where I developed my love of it. Such great stuff on draft over there.

6 lbs LME 1 lb roasted barley will kick the **** out of Guinness. I wish someone would try, I love dry stout.
I do like Guinness, though.

I did 6 lbs pald dme
1 lb roasted,
1lb black patent
and I was disapointed because it was Guinness. My friends said it was way better than guinness, but I was disapointed.
Really? Mine was much roastier and better tasting, and yours must have been even roastier. I think I'll go brew another, although I can't decide to go AG or extract for easiness.

It's not quite that simple. There is a bit of sour to Guinness.

I just dont buy that "urban beer legend" the Guiness passes all their "bad" beer to the states which I'm guessing is their biggest market. I've had Guinness in 4 different continents (along with all the other beer I could try of course) and its all the same.

I never said they pass all their bad beer to the states. My point being was that Guiness in Europe doesnt have any preservatives and isnt pastuerized, to me, it tastes different. Maybe it all tastes the same to everyone else, but what I had tasted very fresh and very different than what I have had in the states. That was my only point.
It's been awhile (bout '01), but the stuff I had in Europe seemed the same to me too.

Guinness is pasteurized everywhere.
Well, I guess the guy at the pub in England lied to me then. He claimed none of their beers are pastuerized due to a purity law

i don't think ireland ever had a purity law (maybe, but i never heard of it). germany used to, but i think that was kind of a old thing

Yep they lied. Like the last poster said they do it Germany now too. Purity law is old news.
Look what I've got!!!!
It is quite tasty. It is very smooth and quaffable, like any lager should be. It has some nice roasty notes to it, but none of the bitterness, or even slight sourness that have come to be considered trademark Guinness Stout flavor components. It's the debittered and lighter bodied version of a Guinness product.
I could definitely pound back a few of these on a hot day.
It's got some decent flavor, I think I have a bottle still of Mcsorley's Black lager, and sometime this week I'll do a taste test.
I can't wait to try it on tap somewhere.
I give it a A-/B+, it's definitely something I think I might pick up again.

I had this a while ago, its basically a schwarzbier, with roasted barley instead of carafa, IMO.

Drinking a six pack right now. Not great, not bad, very smooth and easy to drink. Fairly plain, mostly a clean neutral taste (which you would expect from a lager) but roasty. It's about what you'd expect. I wouldn't seek it out, but I would buy it again if I was somewhere with a bad / limited selection. I'd rather drink their flagship beer.

My reaction exactly.
Downed 4 of my 6 pack. Not impressed, but since switching to ales, lagers don't impress me any longer. I mean I'll finish the last two, but won't buy any more.

Isn't it pretty much a roggenbier? I'd like to try it but I would prefer a single. I am trying to get into lagers. Good to be well rounded. Err not roggen, schwarz.
Oh yeah we have already covered this duh.

I figured it was pretty much a swarzbier....Isn't a ROggenbier a rye beer?

Yes roggen is rye, but its a lot more roasty than a schwarzbier, probably do to using roasted barely.

Its not anymore a roasty shwarzbeir then a cda (iba) is a hoppy porter. Its just some guy at the brewery said hey lets throw lager yeast into stout wort and sell it to americans, they love that kinda sht. Now all that aside it dosnt stop it from being a good beer.

Yessir those two styles get mixed up in my head. I dunno why. They are both German. That's where the similarities end.
