Guinness Stout Draught Beer Review

Cheers to a wonderful new year!--Karen

Hey did you see the Mythbusters where they were checking to see something about putting beer under the sand at the beach and then putting lighter fluid ontop of the sand and lighting it on fire! It supposedly cools the beer down quickly. Well that was debunked, but the other ways they tried to cool beer down the fastest was pretty impressive. It turns out CO2 in a fire extinguisher works best. haha. Next and most logically is beer in a cooler with ice and salt (and water I think). Interesting.

Mmmmmmmm... Guinness is my favorite. I love this drink. It is proabably the first stout beer I tried. The best! Tell me the time and place and I'm there with ya sister.

In reference to Guinness not having an aftertaste- taste is, indeed a subjective thing. Different people have different thresholds for various tastes and aromas -some are higher than other's. In the case of Guinness, however, given the fact that it is brewed with a very high dark roasted malt content, it is difficult to imagine it not having an aftertaste. Perhaps you are serving it too cold and may be stunting your palate's ability to perceive the full aftertaste. Traditionally Guinness is served at 55 degrees fahrenheit. Cheers!
