Damm! 45 minutes without a single post? Well, hopefully my double post will be forgiven (or someone will post while I am writing)
and as weird as it apparently makes me here, I enjoy them for the story and gameplay as much as the sexual content. .
You're not so alone as you might think with that.
I made an embarrassing discovery this week -- Now with all the "craft" beers in bars sometimes they don't even have my old "go-tos so I am forced to drink something new - So I had 4 - 20 ounce (I liter) Bells Double IPAs Now I typically have 4 Guinness - My discovery was there is a hell of a LOT more alcohol in a double IPA than there is an a Guinness - Thank God I was within staggering distance of home.

Fuck! A Guinness has 4,2 vol, a double IPA starts tipically at 8 vol, Bell's (I checked) turned it up to 11 vol! (I wonder if that's intentional). And that's exactly my problem with american beers/ales (at least with the ones I get on my side of the pond), they
always have to turn it up to eleven.
My taste buds would be overwhelmed by a single pint and you managed to drink 2 liters of that? Sir, you have my admiration.
I hope you are not referring to Guinness -- Them's fighting words and could get every post you make from here on out replied to with a pig gif. Guinness is like dark bread & dark chocolate and then a hint of cream with a slightly bitter undertone -- not a trace of pine cone anywhere. . Honey Badgers do not approve of such talk. If however you are speaking of the Bells double IPA I mentioned -- you might have something there

Pine, minty flavours are typical from chinook or centennial hops (and many others "super" hops), almost obligatory ingredients in any US Double IPA.
Next time you don't find any Guinness, ask for an Irish Dry Stout (same style as Guinness) or anything they might have from the stout/porter family. I especially recommend oatmeal or milk stouts if you love that smooth mouthfeel. Just avoid anything that has Baltic or Imperial in the name.
IPA's tho - not tasty.
not my opinion. definite fact.
fair. but the germans would back me on this one ha
Since they are experimenting with a lot of new high alpha acids hops, brewing a lot of IPLs (India Pale Lager) and almost going as crazy as their belgian neighborhoods (ok, nobody is as crazy as belgians when it comes to their ales) I would say that's another
That said I would take a Session IPA or an american or bohemian Pils over a double IPA ten times out of ten.
