Not yet, but give me five minutes.

My wife's country (her own town actually) makes a beer that's like....take Guiness and put it on steroids.  Now take that beer and put it on more steroids.

There ya go

Huge misconception; Guiness is a pretty lightweight beer, at least as far as alcohol goes.  Nothing at all like a good Russian Imperial Stout.  When I make a Guiness clone, I'm using pretty much the least amount of grain (read: potential alcohol) of anything I make. 

So what's the Steroid Stout?

Ok, I gotta ask, what's the brand name?  Is it stronger than:



Because I likes me a strong beer, but a glass of that stuff is like eating a meal.  A bitter, dense meal at that.

I'm not familiar with that.

Maybe it's more like Old taddy on steroids

guiness is lightweight? Compared to Bud and Killians and Becks and stuff like that?

Regular Guiness has an ABV of ~4.2% or so, not far off what you see with typical domestic beeds like Bud (although higher than uber-lightweight beers like Mich Ultra, etc).  Typical craft brews - nothing extreme, just run-of-the-mill pale ales and such - will generally run ~5% - 5.5%.  IPAs, usually 6% - 7%.  Get into "big beers" like Russian Imperial Stouts or Imperial IPAs and you're looking at 8%+.

All depends on the particular brewer, but Guiness is a beer that people tend to perceive as being more "hardcore" than it really is because it's got a ton of flavor from the heavily roasted malts they use.  It's really not that far removed, ABV-wise, from typical domestic beers.  

Still a great beer!

Nice, I love porters, I've got some of this waiting in my fridge for tonight:



Have to get through that whole stupid "work" thing first, though.  Cheers, and enjoy the inebriation.

I've been to only two breweries...Yuengling, which I could only spell cause I'm drinking my Utenos out of my Yuengling glass I got at the Yuengling brewery.....AND the guiness brewery in Dublin.

The Guiness brewery is like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for people that like beer.

Yuengling, despite being the oldest continually operated brewery in America is very small and in a small town with economic challenges...Potsville PA.  Any of you in Northern Jersey or PA (Roy?) could drive there easy.

Yeah, I'd love to visit the Guiness factory.  Don't get me wrong, it's a great beer, it's just not as "big" as most people tend to think.  Start drinking some RIS and you'll see what I mean!

It's also a very easy beer to make; the recipe is about as simple as it gets, with one exception.  There's a little "twang" in the beer that they get from letting a small amount of the beer get sour, which they then blend in.  Other than that, though, the beer is as simple and straightforward to make as it comes.
