During all my drinking years I never once had a Stout

That black liquid, if I am honest, I do not even know what the main ingredient that makes it black is.
Looking up Stout ingredients just now I find that Roasted, Unmalted Barley gives it it's blackness.

it's almost like a weaker version of Guinness I always think. Stout was very popular in my family when i was growing up. My father didn't drink.. but my grandfather did, ..a lot...... and whenever were at granda's house there was cans of stout there for the company to drink, as well as whisky.. To this day I can't stand the smell of either

My grandmother drank a bottle of Mackeson Stout every day of her adult life. It was her "tonic".

I worked at a bar that had Guinness Stout on Tap. I did not not like it at all. It was not a big seller, but a few guys seemed to like it.

Guiness is very popular in the UK>... bars routinely run out of it on days like ST Paddy's day etc.....

I do remember however someone saying that they'd tasted guiness in an American bar, and they didn't know what had happened to it, but it tasted inferior to the british/irish Guiness

Of course, I've never tasted the UK variety, but I wonder if it's a difference in American tastes. In that bar I worked at right out of the same tap setup we hand another UK beer, Harp. It was pricey, but in my opinion, way better than American beer. Other people liked it too. But most people settled for the cheaper American swill.
