Beer

I had the Burton Baton a few weeks ago, and at the risk of agreeing with PenFoe, holy shit is it the nectar of the gods.

I'm drinking some Guiness Black Lager beer that I picked up at Jewell. It's basically a water-down bloody Yank-ass Guinness. I fuckin' love it.

In other news, I finished off my four remaining Piraat's with some associates tonight.  Amazing.

Is it not just Harp with some caramel food colouring in it?

It is not. Reminds me of a Samuel Smith's of some ilk. Not a bitter-tasting thing. I give it a B.

EDIT:

(tastes it again with this in mind.) Yeah, maybe it is.

The purpose of the new product is to open up new streams of revenue. It is aimed at young male drinkers who prefer chilled, bottled lagers to pints of beer and is being sold in 330-millilitre bottles for six to nine months in Northern Ireland, as a test market for Europe, and in Malaysia to see whether there are opportunities for the product elsewhere. In Malaysia the beer will be known as Guinness Premium Beer. It will be offered at a comparable price to other premium lagers. The move follows previous attempts by Diageo to boost sales by introducing variations of Ireland's famous Guinness stout. In 2005 the company sold Brew 39 in bars in Dublin and before that it introduced Guinness XXX Extra Strong, Guinness Gold. If the beer performs during its trial, it will be introduced to other markets in Ireland, Europe and the U.S.

It is a 4.5 percent strength brew and gets its black colour from the roasted barley added into it.

Cold Brewed?

It's Guinness Ice!

Eventually, the truly black mustard will arise.

Had this over the weekend.  Excellent beer, even though it's a Belgian-style made by a US brewery, which might bother some folks around here.

Try as I might, I really didn't like this beer.

Repeatedly hear from others who love it, so either I got a bad bottle (unlikely), or just not my style.

Guinness launches New Foreign Extra Stout in the U.S.

the fullest in flavor of the GUINNESS brand variants. Deep brown in appearance, GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout is carbonated unlike the nitrogenated GUINNESS Draught with which most Americans are familiar. The specialty beer is 7.5% ABV and possesses strong, roasted aromas followed by a unique bittersweet taste that beer aficionados can enjoy responsibly.
GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout is brewed at a higher hop rate than GUINNESS Draught and its fullness of flavor and character have remained unchanged. Known for its unique taste, GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout has an initial effervescent impact leading to a dry finish and a full bodied palate of roast character. It is produced using four basic ingredients: grain, water, hops and yeast. Yeast from each brew is transferred on to the next, so the original yeast's descendants are still in the GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout we drink today.

Not sure if anyone has had this overseas (Tonk?) or if it's any good, but per the link above, the Brand Director for Guinness is named Pat Hughes, so there's that.
