    I do have a love for Guinness Special Export (not to be confused with Foreign Extra).!

    Guinness Extra is pretty good too.

    I actually meant foreign extra.

    Quilmes (no offence, kenmc;)) and Leroy.

    I don't think Guinness is bad, per se, it's just dull. The worst thing about it is the massive negative effect it's had on Irish stout and Irish stout drinkers. There's a cold and flavourless circle of hell reserved for the inventors of nitrogenation.

    And the best reason to try the bottle version and ask your local to stock it!

    The normal response I get when I ask for a pint bottle of stout is
    "We use to stock that, but it doesnt sell so we stopped".

    I have seen some pubs stock the small 330ml bottle of Guinness, but its the same price as a pint is some places which I'll never understand why!

    yea would it kill them to keep 6 or so bottles in stock, not exactly going to break the bank.It's also extremely lazy attitude, have they never heard of actually push the products they sell, ever other business appear to, rant off:P

    For me it is O' Haras all the way.
    I did love the Youngs double chocolate and there is no way I could not mention the Porterhouse Wrasslers XXXX.
    Also worth a mention is the heavenly Fullers London Porter.

    For pure drinkability and pleasure though it is a bottle of O'Haras.

    I just got Mackeson in Sainsbury's. made by inbev. Nice aroma, fairly bland, sweet. Interesting stout to try though.

    I recall being told that Mackeson stout was often given to sick people to help boost iron levels. Long time since I saw it in the UK, good spot :)
