It's not Irish. It's what a stout can only wish it was.
St. Bernardus Belgian Abby. ABT 12 http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/st-bernardus-abt-12/2530/ Best beer I've ever had. Full, thick, rich complex without being bitter at all. Head so thick it's like whipped cream. |

Guinness is classic. No other beer could replace it, so if you want Guinness, get Guinness.
If you think it's too weak, try their Foreign Export Stout. Previously common in Europe, they started shipping it here maybe a year(ish) ago? It's on the low side of "imperial" strength, and is just the finished, non-soured version of their "3%." Not sure how much you know about Guinness, but I could explain it if you need. Anyhow, it's expensive, but it's good. Murphy's is the better Dry Irish Stout, IMHO, but just be aware it's not Guinness. The new Guinness black lager is just a Harp (also a SJG product) with some roasted barley and chocolate malt in it. If you like Harp and you like roasted barley, you'll like GBL. There are also plenty of American craft brews in the Dry Irish Stout and Irish Red Ale styles. If you can find a place with nitrogenated Donnybrook Stout from Victory, it's exquisite. Or hell, just go to the brewery, it's not that far.

guiness is made to sell, murphy's is made to drink AND THAT is what two Irish software engineers, on exchange, told me.

But they are correct as to Murphy's. |

My best buddy, drinking partner and authority on alcoholic beverages passed away last Nov. at 13 years of age. He was a male German shepherd and would only drink Guiness Stout. Nothing else. He would put away as much as I would allow him and he was a sweet drunk. If I poured him anything else he would give me a go to hell look and sometimes show me a tooth.

Ended up with a 6 pack of Smithwicks. Only 4.5%, but it's very tasty. Also picked up a bomber of La Trappe Quadrupel to cover the Saintly avenue of St. Patricks Day.
