    5 Stars The true drink of the Gods 06/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A very enjoyable and sometimes healthy drink

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Like all alcoholic beverages, can be dangerous if too much is drunk

    Writing about ales or beers has to be one of the most difficult tasks. We all have our own tastes, and each of us will taste something totally different in the drink. Therefore I admit that I cannot be objective in my opinion of Guinness. Even though I believe Guinness to be one of the finest stouts in the world and perhaps the best overall alcoholic beverage to grace the earth, I concede that there are those that cannot palate the drink of the Gods (well in my theology the Gods drink Guinness with Fish and Chips being the choice of food.) Guinness is a stout brewed in Ireland. It is one of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very nice taste, with health Benefits

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May be a bit too thick for some people

    Guinness is one of those drinks you look at every time you walk into a pub but never dare to actually buy a pint of until one day you finally decide to take the plunge and try a pint of the black stuff. Strangely enough my first pint of Guinness coincided with my first Rugby game at London Irish on St Patrick's day last year. Since that day I can often be found with a pint of Guinness in my hand when I'm out with mates on a Friday night. So on with the informative part about the Guinness. History ******* The creator of Guinness was Arthur Guinness and he founded the first Guinness brewery was ... more

    5 Stars A piece of Velvet I will sup in Dublin 09/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wonderful Taste

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can ruin your bowels

    Last night after an excessive amount of a certain stout of international acclaim, and being in a mood of severe curiosity about what I had spent eight hours shoving down my throat. So I sat down and did a bit of browsing, and a lot of hiccupping, I finally found information on a tipple I only drink once a month. As I sit here this morning, thinking I may have drunk a little too much last night, and wanting to do a bit of writing I decided that I should put my drunken info gathering to the test and see what I come up with. In all honesty I cannot believe I like Guinness! As friends of mine will ... more

    5 Stars Alcohol or Art 26/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages looks great, tastes great, did I mention it looks great?

    Disadvantages Disadvantages rip-off pubs charge more for it than most other beers.

    The following is an unashamed celebration of my favourite drink, Guinness. People who may be offended by explicit descriptions of the consumption of beer should leave now. The first thing that strikes me, and I must admit the reason I started drinking the stuff in the first place, about a perfectly poured pint of Guinness is how beautiful it looks. Assuming that your bar person has selected a clean glass and has poured the pint correctly, they will place on the bar in front of you a pint of dark liquid with an indistinct creaminess as your Guinness goes thru its final settle. Look closer at ... more

    4 Stars The girly girl goes all macho... 29/11/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I can *finally* drink the stuff!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's still stout...

    Being the girliest of all girly girls anyone I know has ever encountered, the last thing on my drinking list is usually beer or stout of any sort. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was usually to be found drinking alcopops or spirits and girly mixers of an evening. This all changed on a recent trip to Dublin. It was all very drunk and debauched, and I'd vowed to get myself a taste for Guinness, so I made myself drink it. Guinness, for anyone who doesn't know (are there people who've never encountered it?), is a brand of stout. To look at, it's black with a creamy off-white head. Its taste is ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great taste

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None if taken in moderation

    Nothing is more Irish than Guinness stout but this was not always the case in fact Guinness is a copy of a traditional type of English ale! MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH GUINNESS Ever since going to University in the south of England I have been a confirmed real ale drinker. The south has some great local breweries making some great beers, Gales, Fullers, Harveys, Ringwood. One drawback of drinking ale is that it can be difficult to find a good pint, which can be a health risk! And in some pubs real ale is not stocked at all. So what do you do if you don't trust the quality of the ale the landlord ... more

    4 Stars THE DARK BROWN NECTAR 29/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, good for you!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Foul to throw up!

    Aaah! Guinness! This was my much loved drink for many years whether it be draught from the pub tap, canned (draught or original) or bottled - I'm now more of a wine drinker due to the evil influence of my mother but that's another story... Creamy Guinness (stout) originating from Ireland has a unique rich taste, sort of bitter with a pleasing drinakble creaminess and it is easy to get throgh a lot of the stuff - gory details coming later! It is now available in cans or bottles aswell as in most good pubs or licenced premises and is the same kind of price as most good quality beers( around £1 ... more

    5 Stars NOT LAGER LAGER TONIGHT THANKS 13/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Unique creamy drink, pours well from a can, tasty stuff!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages More than a couple and I suspect I'd be bloated!

    Guinness Draught Stout is probably the most world famous example of a drink of its kind. Indeed I cannot of think of any other stouts at the moment apart from one beginning with M that my Grandma used to sup. I reckon in Family Fortunes style, if 100 people were surveyed to name a brand of stout, then the top answer with about 90 would be Guinness. I only tried Guinness for the first time yesterday. I’d been feeling ill all day, I’d had the day off work, and come eight o clock, I fancied a drink. Add the fact that my girlfriend had gone out, I was in need of something to do, so off I walked to ... more

    Advantages Advantages tastes and smells great silky smooth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages one is never enough

    Feeling a little lacking in energy need a little boost to make you fell better………… Well for me you can’t beat a drop or two of Guinness or Stout. Not just a drink for the lads!!...........but for lassies too!!! Did you know its less than 200 calories a pint? Not bad……. **Introduction** ~~~~~~~~~~~ I first became aware of the benefits of a drop of stout when I was pregnant with my little girl. After going off alcohol throughout my pregnancy towards the end I found that a bottle of this did wonders. At the end of the day with your feet up, have a little tipple, they say that it is good for you ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks and tastes fantastic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very bitter not to everyones taste

    Ah!! “The Black Stuff”. Guinness is a drink that you will either love or hate the first time you try it. The fact that it is extremely bitter puts some people off at first. However, perceiver and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. The beer (or rather stout) itself is an opaque black colour, is almost flat and has a very bitter taste. Guinness was first brewed in Southern Ireland. St. James Gate in Dublin to be exact. However, these days it is brewed in 45 countries and mostly using a concentrate produced in Dublin. Another 27 countries receive finished draft Guinness ... more
