Well, since they're both stouts, I'd say it's more like comparing apples to apples. But hey, what do I know.

Yeh so comparing a stout to a stout with nitrogen and they taste the EXACT same ? Texture and overall experience from drinking a Stout and a Draught Stout is completely different.

Yes, you've made your opinion perfectly clear already. Thank you.

BrianH · 01-29-2009, 03:05 PM

Youre welcome. Though its prolly fallon on deaf ears.

Dude... I've already acknowledged that they're different formulas, but that's not even the point. So just let it go. You've stated your case. I've stated mine. We disagree. I don't understand why you can't accept that. Get the hell over it already. It's just beer we're talking about here.

All I know is Guinness tastes good, whether its the regular stout or the draught.

BrianH · 01-30-2009, 08:23 AM

You obviously have no idea how beer is made or understand ANY of the ratings I put there.
I am a homebrewer and my Grandad and Great Grandad worked for Guinness so its obvious I understand more about beer than "it tastes the same" like you. The Chemical breakdown chart I posted, proves it is not the same.

Drover · 01-30-2009, 11:30 AM

Actually the point I made is that they don't taste the same. You don't even know what you're arguing about any more. I don't care where your grandfather worked. I don't even understand how that's relevant to anything anyone has said in this entire thread. Just let it freaking go.
