Guinness, and some spiced or fruity beers. But I don't like them that much. Except Guinness, which is pretty good.
The stronger stuff like Kilt Lifter, Dead Guy, Arrogant Bastard and Spaten Optimator seems to have a way sweeter taste than typical beers. Keep in mind these beers are like 9% alcohol by volume.
now when i say sweet i mean pepsi sweet. i had some kinda wine that was spose to be sweet but it still tasted bad. well, i reckon you now know i hate wine as well.
sadly you are right. (in monotone voice) hey, my name is mike and im a sweetoholic. i need pepsi, cake, pies, cookies and donuts.
i get it from my daddy he has a sweet tooth as well.

More of a chocolaty sweet, but still a lot sweeter than say a IPA or another really hopped beer.
The sweetest thing you'll find that could truly be considered a beer is probably a fruit flavored lambic like a kriek or a framboise - the latter of which is what I'm guessing AmyTheFreak was referring to.

Beyond that you're leaving beer for a hailstorm of umbrellas and shame as you become a girl-drink drunk.
I've seen it happen

Pyramid Apricot is very sweet. It actually tastes like apricots.
I think soda being such a huge part of many people's diets is part of the problem. Everyone is used to drinks be so damn sugary.
Outside of fruit lambics I'm generally not a fan of fruit beer (or chili beer or chocolate beer etc) but a Pyramid hits the spot on a hot day. One of my ex-girlfriends lived a block away from the Pyramid Brewery in Sacramento which was nice.
Another exception is a good cherry stout which most homebrewers have made at least once. Great combination of tastes.
You could also look for a milk stout. They're brewed with lactose (milk sugar) which yeast can't eat very well so remains to give the beer a sweet taste.
yes sir, that's the 8 I liked it more than the 12. Like I said at first it wasn't too special but the 2nd and 3rd sip it really kicked in.

Yea I used to love soda, drank a ton of it. Then I stopped and I only drink it every once in awhile. I lost a ton of weight by stopping drinking it. Sugar is no good for you and there's way too much of it in soda. I mainly drink alcohol and water haha with some tea and coffee added in.
I had a Murphy's a while ago, but I don't remember it that much. I'll have to pick up some more some time.
Wow that was a shot in the dark! So where did you get yours? I had one at a pub in Amsterdam. My friends and I bought the last 3 they had. I guess they only sell it once a year at the monastery and limit 2 cases per purchase. Certainly among the rarest beers available.
Oops sorry for the OT pro-beer discussion.
Never had a cherry stout.
Living right by the Pyramid Brewery? Very nice. Their apricot and hefeweizen beers are some of my go-to's in the summer.
When I lived in Germany they had these two different beers they would mix up, red f***ers and green f***ers. The red f***ers had cherry syrup and made it taste really sweet, although it kind of flattened the beer rather quickly so you would have to drink them fast if you didn't want a flat beer. The green f***ers had peppermint flavoring and did the same thing. The red stuff was better IMO.
