I don't like it...

Guinness. No sir. No like.

MakiSupaStar, you're fired!

Okay, let me quality my statement a bit...Guinness is not my favorite beer, and not one I'd drink every day, but I have an affection for its smooth creaminess and round, roasted taste. As a young man, I couldn't stand it, but as my palate for good beer developed, I came to appreciate the qualities of that wonderful dark Irish brew.
 
20+ years of sobriety... The "drinking dreams" don't happen very often anymore but when I do have one... it usually always involves a glass of Guinness.

I once drank eight bottles of Guinness and then proceeded to beat the state darts champion in a game of darts. Yeah... it was "only" in the state of Montana but considering the state that I was in at the time... I was lucky to even be standing upright.

Just to be clear... I should state that I may have exceeded the allowed quota of "state" usage in one post. Sorry about that...

Oh yeah... Guinness from the tap was the greatest... Guinness in a bottle would always do in a pinch... thankfully... I never experienced Guinness via a can.

This just proves you're an American. We brew better stouts :hiding:

I spent years trying to make myself like the stuff. Then I tasted Sam Adams Oatmeal Stout, and a few micro-brewed stouts that proved to me, once again, that Americans know how to brew with the best of 'em.
 
From Roger's Profasnisaurus:

Irish alarm clock:

Ten pints of Guinness. From the fact that a night on the black stuff more often than not leads to horrific, involuntary bowel movements which cause one to wake up early the next morning. "I hope you don't sleep in tomorrow. You're piloting a Space Shuttle up to the International Space Station, remember." "Don't worry dear. I've set my Irish alarm clock."
