			I'm in Dublin for a couple of days, I did 9 pints of Guiness last night, then the funds ran out. But I'm cashed up again and will get a few more in before my flight.

 Fookin' Hell :eek: Every pint is like eating a meal, how the hell can you stomach so much? I can only drink one, maybe two, but I dont like the taste that builds up so have to stop.

 When I was in Dublin I was lucky enough to have a couple pints of the black stuff in a pub just a mile or so from St. James' Gate.

			Yeah, got a couple more in tonight before the flight. I'm feeling pretty bloated, everything I ate in the last two days was some type of sandwich or roll or pizza, so much bread.... That combined with the guinness.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The Guinness tasted so good though I would have had a few more if I had the time.

			Had a nice little beer tasting with some friends this evening. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			First off, we tried Brooklyn Local 2, a great Belgian-style strong dark ale. Lots of plumb and honey notes coming through, and very smooth. ![]() After that we tried the Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout. And were thoroughly disappointed. It kind of tasted like somebody spilled water in regular Guinness. Oh well.

			I tried that recently as well. It kind of grows on you after awhile, but still, I was expecting to be at least a little impressed. To me it tasted like they just mixed regular Guinness with the Extra Stout version.

			Had another beer tasting with some friends today. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Unibroue's Trois Pistoles- an excellent dark Belgian ale ![]() Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout- for a stout, it's fairly light. Overall, very nice. ![]() and Sprecher Black Bavarian- a wonderful, smooth dark lager

			Went to a beer tasting in the city today; we sampled a few brews from Rogue out of Oregon: 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Mom Hefeweizen Chipotle Ale Dead Guy Ale Double Dead Guy Ale Imperial India Pale Ale All of them were great, except the Chipotle Ale. I picked up their Rogue Chocolate Stout, an Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, and a Sinebrychoff Porter.

 @Return (and Fortunato) With the La Fin Du Monde, do you notice a taste difference in the shape of the glass you are drinking it from? I usually drink it in a rounded goblet like glass. Since we are moving and still unpacking, I had in a regular pint glass the other night. Now, i hadn't had it in awhile, but it just didn't taste the same and wasn't as good as I remember.
