I had a Guiness for the first time in about 5 years today... and i must say it was horrible, i couldnt wait to get back onto a pint of lager afterwards. It was like drinking cold coffee, why is it so many people rave about it? Even 5 years ago i didnt like it but still drank it for sake of drink! anyone feel the same?
I had a Fray Bentos Steak and Ale pie last year, I couldnt finish it, it was horrible? Maybe its just that I dont liek real ale? I hate the fact its called that because all the older men drink it, and say that lager nowadays is horrible and watered down, but i think most of the bitters and ales are disgusting!
Guinness is an aquired taste, you can either take it or leave it. Try it mixed with cider, a poor mans Black Velvet (Guinness and Champagne) Cheers XXX
