Lies:

Kilkenny Irish Cream ale is boss, brewed by Guinness. Not to be confused with Kilkenny liqueur from AU, which is amazing as well on the rocks. :beer:

What don't you like about it, and what beer do you prefer?

It tastes so bitter, I like beer but this is just piss water. Do you really think it tastes good? I like beers such as carlsberg and budwiser 66 (only the 66 version)

To be honest all of them are awful, get cider
I like it and it is a great meal replacement. Guinness is the breakfast of champions.

It's just a question of taste. You like lighter, fruitier drinks, others like richer, yeasty drinks.
If you like fizzy lager, then a pint of the black stuff is hardly likely to be your thing.

It is an acquired taste, but if you like your stuff, fine
vodka chugging + prawn cocktail flavoured crisps to dilute the disgusting taste afterwards.
J20 is better than them all

I don't like it either; I tried it a few years ago and thought it tasted smoky. I heard its suppose to taste better in Ireland so might try it again when I go to Dublin.

It tastes no different in Ireland.

It's really good, my mate got me a pint of it with blackcurrant in on a night out once, thought it was a strange combination but it tastes excellent.

You tried that Foreign Extra stuff? It's like Guinness but a lot stronger. I like it.
It's alright. Of all the macro beers out there it's the one that actually tastes of something and is very consistent. You can go to a pub almost anywhere and get Guinness that tastes the same. This can be an advantage in place where a pub's cask ale is in dire condition or their bottled selection is terrible or prohibitively expensive. As an example of a porter/stout it's not especially strongly flavoured but for a beer that is sold all over the world it does have some decent flavour.

I'll drink it like once a year if that, usually on St Patrick's day because I'm a sucker for advertising sometimes.
Because they ****ing want to, duh!
