HB Irish Stout... been trying to nail Guinness but this just isn’t it. I think I’m over thinking things with this beer. This just doesn’t taste good. Very thin. I’m not good with flavors but it’s messed up... kind of too bitter or acidic. I’m going to have to reconsider how to brew this.
I wish it tasted as good as it looks.

Are you mashing high enough temp? Might help the "thin" problem. Is the bitter from mashing too long, aka tannins, or hops?

My thoughts are that it should be sampled by all of us homebrewers here so that we can critique. You oftentimes find yourself to be the best and yet worst critic. Maybe it's actually quite passable as a Guinness clone...I'd be willing to take that test for you @camonick ; )

...it looks quite nice, regardless.
