Which do you prefer? I tried both this weekend and I like them both a lot. The creaminess of the nitro is really something.

Last time I tried Guinness was 15 years ago. I thought it tasted like vomit. But I'm still not sure if someone had actually puked in my glass. I should try again..

Been living in Ireland 6 years and never tried the one on the left. Wouldn't normally drink Guinness out of a can but on the occasion I do I always enjoy it. Love it on draft but it's getting very expensive to drink in and around Dublin...

You're supposed to pour it into a glass following the proper method.

I've never tried the extra stout. The draught in a can is OK, but it's not as satisfying as a proper pint poured on tap at the local Irish pub. There's nothing like walking down to the pub, ordering a big breakfast with an Irish coffee, and washing it down with a few pints of creamy Guinness fresh from the tap. The little nitro widget in the cans does a good job of giving the beer a decent head, but the texture of the actual beer just isn't the same as a proper draught beer from a keg.

It's been like 8 years for me which is kind of crazy to think. Used to hit up this place that went hard with the whole irish pub thing and they did a pretty good job at it. Would go often with a buddy before he decided to become a actual faggot. Maybe I'll stop by after work one day for dinner and a guinness even though i'm sure a pint is probably like $7 now or some shit which makes me want to punch someone.

Sounds like a fantastic Saturday morning. I wish I had a bar or pub to just walk down to but in the burbs it's only houses for miles around

I like stouts and other dark beers, but not Guinness.
I think it's the nitro, because I've never tried a nitro beer I really enjoy. May be a similar thing for you.

Try the Extra Stout, it's not nitro.

Regular Guinness is just black water, completely flavorless. The Extra Stout on the other hand is an excellent dark beer.

The fact that it doesn't taste like overpowering nasty bitter coffee like "real" stouts is a bonus.

bottled guinness is terrible. the canned one is a thousand times more popular for a reason (the air thing inside)
the only problem is the laughable 4.2%. they really should offer a stronger version that is at least 5.2%. I heard there is one but only in very few shithole countries

I just drank them both again, side by side. I think the main appeal with the Draught is the nitro and how it makes the drink feel. Hearing the nitro engaging when you open the can is also cool. It has a decent taste, but I assume the nitro is weakening it and the reason the beer seems so light, so it makes me think it's a bit like a gimmick. The Extra Stout on the other hand is just a solid, good beer. I enjoyed both (for somewhat different reasons), I'm glad I tried both, but I think I'll be sticking with the Extra Stout.
