Bought some Guinness Black Lager to try...

[potzer25]

It's uninspiring...

 

[ladyrockess]

Damn, I really wanted to try this stuff. It's really not worth it?

Speaking of uninspiring Guinness beers, the extra stout wasn't very "extra..."

Can't say. Haven't tried it. I'm a bit confused as to why Guinness would branch out from Stout, and come up with...


...essentially a stout. Different character from being a lager, but still.

Is not worth it all. To me it had no flavor, no body, felt watery, just...bland. And I actually like a crisp, clean flavorful lager at times.

Lager is popular, though, so in that sense it kind of makes sense to branch out. Lager =/= stout in anyway (ok, they both use "hops" and "grains" and "yeast") so that part confuses me...

No, but a black lager and a stout are essentially taste equivalent.

It's kind of like Budweiser releasing a low gravity blonde ale.

maybe some taste similar...not this one, though...
