"Your first pint of Guinness is like drinking a dirty blanket", goes a saying apparently, even in Ireland.
Not true for me, because Guinness does taste pretty creamy and bitter and fresh, and funnily enough quite filling. There's some substance to it you know. Plus, it's not like anybody drinks beer for taste, but if you DO want to drink the booze for flavor and texture, that's the one to go for, because the head makes sense, the froth just as that perfect combo of NO2 and Irish water and the herbs and spices that make the wonderful drink.
I'm listening to David O' Doherty speak on the Off Menu podcast. Good stuff. He's the one bringing this up.
Though the beer is great, the ice-cream flavored with the beer was awful, the one we tried in Tacoma's soccer bar. Or maybe we were just too full. I wonder how you judge these things like flavor and texture objectively when there's so many other variables you need to control. Is it all marketing? Like sure there's a bunch of things that are really quite disgusting that nobody in right mind would consume, and a lot of things that are addictive, but what about the things in between.
