i drank it out of a bottle and it tasted like water. water with a little bit of bitterness. i think there was something wrong with the batch

@djhc123 I find that the Guinness Draught has becomes more and more bland over the years. It also might have something to do with just trying better beers in the years since I first had Guinness, but who knows. I remember it being much, much better than it currently is.

elharlock, have you tasted Murphy's? It's pretty nice. It's not as good as Guinness IMO but pretty close. Definitely worth the try.

[elharlock]

@Jaymouthful I think I have, but it was so long ago that our liquor store carried it, I can't be sure.

i had 8 of those 15 oz cans of guinness last night before some pabsts, i give guinness an a+ and i would say that you can deffinatly drink alot of them if your not a pussy.

@cpdusmcdst9 You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a shit about your opinion on the state of Canadian pubs.

@elharlock I'd say that guinnes is a fantastic beer, but it IS actually rather bland.. but bland in a nice way.. Lots of people seem to think "oh, it's dark.. I won't like it.. it'll be like drinking mud" but it isn't, it's actually far more "drinkable" than many generic lagers out there.. BUT, there is a HUGE difference between the stuff you get canned or bottled and the stuff from the tap in Ireland. oh yeah, pardon my English, I'm Norwegian.

@seanchenn its not at all meant to fuckface

[HatfulofLiam]

Guinness is tastes it's best, and tastes proper in Dublin, and that's that

[seanchenn]

It's really bitter and a bit sour. Doesn't taste like chocolate or coffee at all

[Audioquest56]

An excellent brew, but it can't touch Fuller's London Porter for overall flavour.

@elharlock I find it watery too unless I drink a good mouthful at a time. I think having some of the stronger craft brews make it seem much weaker than it is. I still like it a lot but these days I lean toward Highland's Black Mocha Stout. Much more chocolate and coffee flavor for my tastes. Guinness is a beer I get for something easy to chug and get a buzz quick

@djhc123 haha well I'm from Aus so as you can imagine i wouldn't know. I'm only 18 and relatively new to beer from a discerning perspective but I thought that the extra stout was much more bitter than the draught at the very least.

[djhc123]

@samm1809 It was the draught. at the time i figured it was just some over-rated piss like Corona Extra. im from NZ...so is it common for guinness to taste like muddy water outside of europe?

[samm1809]

@djhc123 was it the draught or the extra stout?
