Re: My story : French man in Dublin
...it may have something to do with the quality of French...err..."Beer"? Though calling this liquid "brewed" in France "beer" is almost as appropriate as calling the US-liquid "beer"...
If You want to try something Irish which still is truly beer but weaker than stout, try the red ales, such as "Smithwick's"/"Kilkenny", "Murphy's Red" and the like - these should go for weaker tastebuds as well...

Re: My story : French man in Dublin
I don't believe I've ever had a Guiness. Maybe I have, I don't know. I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff. But I can tell you I had some kind of Samuel Adams beer once that tasted like Comet Cleanser. Other people seemed to like it. Someone finished my bottle.

You really have to be not paying attention to what you're drinking to miss the difference.

Re: My story : French man in Dublin
Would they always come in a glass with the name on the side? If they do, then no, I haven't had one. I would notice lettering on a glass before I would give a hoot about a brand. Sorry. If they come in bottles, I may have had one in a bottle.

You'd know. Stout or porter is unlike any other beverage on this earth. It is impossible to confuse it with something that it is nomutepointe wrote:I don't believe I've ever had a Guiness.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Is it the case that licorice root is one of the ingredients in Guinness?

Re: My story : French man in Dublin
Nope. Guinness is truly "beer" according to the German defininion of the Reinheitsgebot (German law of beer-purity from 1516, cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot ): It contains only water, hops and malted and unmalted barley, femented by yeast only. The dark color and the crispy taste come from the roasting of the malt.
You will find, however, stout-beers achieving a less bitter, more creamy taste, such as Beamish or O'Hara's (that also go along with the Reinheitsgebot), through using less hops.
Oh - and don't say, You have no variety due to this Reinheitsgebot - we do have all the typical types of beer here in Germany, hundreds of different ones, made from these three ingredients exclusively, depending on how You treat them, how You mix them, what yeast You use for fermentation and how long! We have strong and weak Lager (Pilsener, Export), we have Pale Ales (e.g. Koelsch) and Real Ales (e.g. Alt), we have Stout and Porter (Schwarzbier) and Double fermented ones (Bock) of 6-8% alc. And it's all organic!

Re: My story : French man in Dublin
All organic since when? I remember from holidays in a Bavarian village the pesticide sprayer going through the hops plantations. The hops was certainly not grown to organic standards, and I doubt neither was the barley. Perhaps the water...Celtpastor wrote:...... And it's all organic!

Re: My story : French man in Dublin
well - more organic than most other international beers, already by their defínition of "beer" - however, as You know, You'll find wonderfull truly organic (in the narrower sense of the word) beers here, too... ...wonder how organic Guinness is, when You look at it more closely...
