  • Is Guinness the best stout there is or are there some better new kids on the block ? I do a taste test with five different stouts ......

      Dirty b*stars. It's a stout ale, dirty bastard and purple haze or turbo dog. Finishing up the stout ale.

    As an Irish person, I don't know of any Irish person who'd rate Guinness as the best Stout. Great marketing though.

    really enjoyed this and something different and love the outfit too lol, stout is one of my favorite styles a long with german wheat beers and ipa's. black heart stout is the only one there that is to rival guinness and being a similar price bracket too and imo the black heart stout has more flavor and im not a brewdog fan at all.

      Hi Lee thanks for your comments and pleased you liked my outfit people need sunglasses on when I wear that , and yes I thought I would try something different although I don’t expect many hits I just had to do it having sunk a few pints of the black stuff and just had to honour it for being the best .

    Good morning Kevin, my mum was Irish. I married a lass from Dublin. My lad a 50/50 mix. They have both been known to super the odd glass of the black stuff. Sadly, for family unity. I can't stand the bloomin' disgusting beverage 😵‍💫😵‍💫🥴😵( that's me banned from the Christmas party) However, on one thing,we agree on. Guinness 00( no alcohol!!!! 😳) what's the point. It's an insult to all good stout drinkers. As for your top pick, the Milk Stout. Ena, Minnie & Martha would probably raise there glasses to your choice. Have a great weekend Allan&Family

      Hi Allan thanks for you input and I got converted many years ago as my delicate stomach was struggling with Lagers etc and did try Murphy,s then onto The Black stuff . And yes I agree with those legends from years gone by the milk stout a nice drink and by golly it does you good , Ps I’ve tried the 00 and it’s not bad but would you believe I hardly drink at all now , Have a good un and let’s hope we continue with a bit of sunshine 🎉

    Have you tried Sam Smith Stout I have it in a club near by For my taste it’s better than Guinness (and half the price) When I’ve been to Cork Ireland Murphy’s is brewed down there So Murphy’s is the most popular way down south
    As you all to well know There’s no such thing as a bad paint of Stout but some are better than others 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

    I don't know about the rest of you beer snobs but I didn't learn anything here other than Kevin(if I got your name wrong I truly am sorry) here doesn't like strong beer, starts talking in cursive after 5 swigs and refuses to open his mind up to better beer. I mean come on, do you think they make it the same way they did back in 1765 whatever?? Do you think they had the foggiest clue what nitrogen is? Or refrigeration so you could drink it cold??? Come on lad. There is better beer too be had. I promise.

      Hi Jim Thanks for your comments and your right I dont drink the stronger beer anymore although I was a fan of Durham Temptation a Russian Imperial Stout and the occasional Pollys Black Brook my tastes have changed as have the amount as ive gotten older and do try some different ales now and again like Delerium Tremens , Jaipur , Fullers Vintage Ale but only have the one , So Jim let me know what you like and maybe I will give it a try .

      @@thedurhamvlogger thanks for the reply Kevin, I was only breaking balls I hope you know that. I would love to try all of your suggestions but they are often times difficult to get on this side of the pond.... One that I have near me is Old Rasputin from North Coast Brewery. It's a Russian imperial stout, good stuff. However this is getting away from Guinness, I don't dislike Guinness in any way I just think it's kinda, meh, as the young say today. I think they could tell a better story if you know what I mean.
