Most people just don't like the taste. Its funny hearing them talk about a bottle of Guinness the way they do. That's how Guinness tastes, you don't like it, that's fine, we have nitro Guinness for that. And then they'll harp on about pint of plains being your only man I'm sure Flann enjoyed an ol bottle of stout. Was he even drinking nitro at the time ha?

To me , a pint of plain is Porterhouse Plain , savage pint.

Stout needs to be chilled, not freezing as it is in many places but definitely cooled. Room temp Guinness is awful.

Nah I like the taste of Stout, so I have my hot poker at the ready for a proper pint of plain.

Kids these days.

That's only good for stuff with no flavour, like Guinness. You can't have a quality stout served cold.

Stout snobbery eh? I bet you put your red wine on the radiator and all.

You absolutely can have quality stouts served colder than room temp, I've had some beautiful ones

Pints of it are lovely.

The bottles of it are lovely.

It's nice chilled (but not really cold like lager).

Anyone who thinks you need to drink stout at room temperature should go take their head for a shite.

Stout hipsters might be more annoying than beer hipsters. "Ooh, look at me, I prefer this stout brewed in ballygobackwards that's strained through a farmers sock over your mass-produced Guinness muck, you can really taste the turf, and it's best drank like a cup of tea". Spare us all.

Hard to beat a bottle off the shelf, a rail dusty wan from the back.

There's a difference between cold and colder than room temp. Stout straight from a fridge isn't a patch on one not drank that way. And don't worry your little head I don't drink red wine.

Exactly,it lacks flavour so no need for it to be anything but cold. Couldn't agree more.

Ah, heyor, are some people really giving out about cold pints here?

Warm stout is undrinkable, horrible stuff. In fact aside from Guinness which is my favorite drink by a long shot the only other stout I sort of like is porter house plain. The vast majority of other stouts are not nice at all, particularly anything from a bottle.

Ok, stout that not chilled so. Be it in a fridge or by a draught chiller.

Guinness can be too cold I won’t deny that, but it needs to be a certain level of cold to be right for drinking.

JohnnyFlash

Jesus, some of the lads in here would drive you to drink, and it wouldn’t matter if the stout was warm or cold.

Fanny Wank

I'm never sure which "side" bores me the most, craft beer **** or so called sages of "the pint"

Just to note I don't think all craft beer drinkers are ****

Sounds like you don't like Stout. Which is fair enough.

Well Guinness is stout and I absolutely love it, drink it like a demon so you can hardly made a statement like that.

I'm definitely on the side of not telling anyone what temperature they should enjoy their favourite beer at, but for the vast majority of Guinness' lifetime they would have served their beers at cellar temperature(or warmer). Keg chillers only came into the pubs in the 60s...

Was British week in my local Aldi, they had Guinness on sale I did my best to remove as much Guinness as I could from the British section, nicely stocked up for the next few months now.

I'm a Heineken drinker but being the day that's in it I went on the black stuff yesterday and it was surprisingly nice. Such an easy pint to drink. I might change my habits.

Ahhh but they've tricked ya. They've hidden the Stout taste in the ol Guinness draft. Hence why you don't really like any others.
It's clear as a Guinness Clear.
