Why is this so damn creamy?

[Anonymous No.5064134]

I don't know, but I love that it is. Draught is by far my favorite Guinness variety. Smooth and creamy.

It's the Nitrogen gas that gives it it's creamy head. Most beers use Co2, which has larger bubbles. Nitrogen has much smaller bubbles which leads to that thick creamy head guinness is known for.

You can find other beers with similar qualities as long as they have a nitrogen pour. Look for the extended black nozzles attached to the taps at your local bar. Most places will only feature guinness, but if you go to a place with a lot of taps you can find other beers.

My local place has a IPA on nitrogen. Its an amazing contrast between the hoppy beer and the creaminess.

I don't know why people always say things like this. I've heard, "I can only drink 1-2 and them I'm full" many times.

Guinness is NOT "thick, heavy, and a meal in itself". It is watery, has a low ABV, and little carbonation. It is the Corona of stouts.

My experience with people that say this is that they often get a "filling" feeling from the thick head.

That feeling sticks with them throughout the drinking process.

From what i've gathered Guiness and other Stouts even have a lower calorie count per cl then other types of beer.

He's right though. Guinness tastes like bitter water. It on the same level as budweiser in my opinion, but at least bud isn't as overpriced as this shitty "stout"

I've drank Guinness in Ireland and had 8 cans last night. You obviously drink Bud or Coors Light if you think Guinness is a heavy, bold stout.

Guinness is a weak-tasting, low ABV stout. I like it because it is refreshing, but you'd have to be retarded or uninitiated with beer to think it is a strong, thick stout.

I've had guinness and PBR right next to each other. I've had all kinds of other shit too, there is little to no difference between them.

The only differences I can really pick out are that some are either "thicker" then others or more hop-y. That doesn't really qualify as much/enough of a difference to me.

If I want a watery, refreshing beer in large quantities I go for Corona in the summer or Guinness in the winter. I can drink a lot of Guinness and it doesn't make me feel full or gassy. I had 9 tall cans last night, felt good.

This. Compared to most (good) stout, Guinness is very thin and weak. Irish dry stouts do tend to be a bit less rich than most styles (at least in my experience), but Guinness is just a terrible example of that style. Calling it the Coors Light of stout isn't really far of the mark.

If you think Guiness Draught is bitter you've never drank any heavier dark beer. Draught is probably one of the least harsh/bitter beer I've drank.

>>5064819
This is right, I don't know how people are saying it's strong/bitter or whatever.

It's light and creamy, the flavor is still there though.

The 70%:30% ratio stays the same, as the amount of people gets larger.

they use nitrogen gas, it makes it creamier than CO2

[Anonymous No.5066770]

>>5066752
I'm saying the only flavor that comes through for me is a slight bitterness. And it's not creamy at all. Bitter water.
I've had plenty of other stouts that actually had flavor to them to balance out the bitterness. Most of the beer I drink in the winter are stouts.

youre not worthy yet. you have to earn it.

to the thread, i recently visited ireland and drank a lot of guinness on draught. it is definitely a very creamy beer, but not one that i'd necessarily choose to drink. its sweet and almost choclatey, which i dont particularly care for.
im from california, so i get spoiled with alot of delicious hoppy IPAs.

This shit is perfect, but I'm so fucking pleby. There were a couple of times when I did the pour perfectly and got a lot of head, and it tasted perfect, but most other times I fuck up somehow, and it's silly because that shouldn't be able to happen. Regardless, when drank right, this is my second favorite beer after Dogfish Head 60 minute.

I'm drinking Firestone Walter's Union Jack IPA. They're a brewery from Paso Robles, California.

Absolutely delicious. Extremely hoppy and piney. Basically everything I want from an IPA, I can get from this beer. This would be my go-to if it were a little easier to obtain. But if you get the chance, take it on this beer. The head is white, thick, and sticky. I'm in heaven with this one.
