Happy St. Patrick's day, followers!
In honor of today's holiday, and my taste based research over the weekend, I found it necessary to do the most popular beer of the weekend: Guinness Draught.
Originally brewed in Ireland, this stout was perfect for the weekend's celebration.
Guinness has a very distinct taste, and a specific person enjoys a Guinness. It is a heavy brown to black stout when poured from a tap, with a heavy malt flavor. Because the flavor is so distinct and heavy, I wouldn't recommend this beer to anyone that isn't a fan of dry stouts.
This beer goes particularly well with barbeque or burgers.
With a Guinness Draught, the taste relies on the skill of the bartender's pour. You must do a double pour to allow the nitrogen to settle. The nitrogen is what makes Guinness so special compared to other stouts. To learn exactly how to pour the perfect Guinness, visit here.

The link for pouring was helpful.

When I first tried Guinness, to my surprise, I really liked the taste of it. I enjoy drinking this type every so often, but I had no idea that a double pour needed to be done. The link was extremely helpful in understanding that.
