Do some research. Find some craft breweries in your area and buy some of their beer. Fresh craft beer is worlds better than mass produced beer sold for its name only.

I remember when I first started drinking I hated all the beer I drank, but the very first sip I took of a local breweries Pale Ale I was hooked on craft beer. You pay a premium price for it, but it is very much worth it.

For purposes of OP's inquiry, a stout is not a genero-beer. Stouts are much different than your average beer imo.

As for OP: if you like sweet, whiskey and coke is a classic and sweet combination. Once you start appreciating the taste of the whiskey instead of using the coke as a mixer try gravitating toward something like a honey whiskey to drink standalone. That shit's sweet and also has body and complexity.

I bet you describe Guinness as "heavy" and have told people "drinking one or two makes you feel full".

Well, I hate to break it to you... but the ABV of Guinness and Bud Light is pretty much the same. Guinness is a pretty light beer, kids just get intimidated by their first taste of a stout and imagine things.

I like Guinness, but it is the Corona of the stout world.

>> No.5399860

There is no alcohol that taste good. It is all an acquired taste that people initially drink for the effect. Beer is special, not because its the best tasting alcohol, but because its the single type of alcoholic drink that can quench your thirst. Personally I can drink it all night but feel that its completely overrated and I'd rather have chu-his or mixed drinks.

The only people who say they drink alcohol for the flavor are the people who drank too much when they were younger and can't get the awesome effects without a hangover

Guinness has less alcohol than Budweiser and most of it is made in Canada. After having numerous Stouts I feel that it is rather weak on the overall scale of Stouts.

Guinness is a bit of an oddball in that it's a dry, relatively light stout whereas most (almost all) stouts are very heavy bodied and commonly a bit on the sweet side as well. Many people who like stouts and porters often dislike Guinness because they expect a stout to be strong and rich, while Guinness is almost the opposite, being crisp and refreshing. This doesn't mean that it's a shit beer, though. Guinness is definitely an acquired taste, even more so than beer in general.

Ommegang, the brewery releasing the Game of Thrones beers, does some really good Belgian style beers. Try the Witte or Hennepinne for a lighter, more crisp taste, or the Abbey Ale or Three Philosophers for a more deep, rich taste.

And congratz for having that gifted palate you should make a living out of that, because last time i check the human palate cant discern this:

>Pours oily pitch black with a small dark mocha head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is sweet and malty with roasted malts, roasted coconut, vanilla fudge, alcohol, leather, high quality dark chocolate, moist soil, alcohol, lemon zest, bourbon and hints of leather and lemon zest. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and tiny salty with roasted malts, sweet soy sauce, roasted coconuts, vanilla fudge, alcohol, high quality dark chocolate, sweetened dark roast coffee, leather, salty liquorice, orange zest and toffee. Mouthfeel is round, boozy, tiny tart and full bodied. Finish is slightly sweet, bitter and tiny sour with vanilla fudge, orange zest, high quality dark chocolate. Leather and lemon zest.

A book of any length can take hours to read. You can easily sample three or four beers in that time. There are far fewer beers than books. Tasting all the beers that matter is possible in a year, maybe two, if you really set out to do it. There's more written than anyone could ever hope to read in a lifetime. That is why it's not so important to be a picky faggot about beer.

Whether that means you can walk in a straight line or you're more gregarious than normal is just technical minutiae.

yes, let's clutter our prison cells EVEN MORE, with ordinary humans perfectly capable of being rehabilitated, because they made ONE mistake.

it is easy to lock someone away for the rest of their life. let them rot; simple, comforting solution. but any sane human being would have the compassion to understand that everybody makes mistakes, some more dire than others, and that one very dire mistake does not indicate that this person is an unchangeable menace to society. this is why we have tests for psychopaths. and even in the case of psychopaths with terrible records, first and foremost we should submit them to lives as neuroscience/psychology subjects rather than human trash.

Fine, throw him in jail for ten years. Throw him in jail for a year. Cane him. Waterboard him for two hours and let him go. Make him go to therapy for five years.
