Oh, and I hate unions.

btw, I doubt SU is very serious about his alcohol. I have friends that are very serious about it, and if I were a drinker, I would have been able to take advantage of some seriously nice stuff.

My other friend has some nice stuff he inherited from his uncle who actually died because of stuff related to his alcoholism. When they drink beer, it is never from a can, it is the dark black stuff.

What you are talking about is called stout...or porter. Thicker than an ale.

guiness is a popular example of dark, thick syrupy refreshment.

Stout and porter are quite different. Stout is just that, stout. A thick, heavy, malty beer, often with a lot of smoke. Porter, despite being similar in appearance, is actually much lighter on the palate, less smoke and malt. Brown ale is another example that looks similar to a stout but is much lighter in taste and feel.

Sure. but when you say "dark black stuff," are you referring to a stout or a porter? or an ale?

there is no way of knowing, which is why I mentioned all three.

Sorry, I was just engaging in exposition. Adding depth and breadth to your post.

And yes, Waters is pulling crap out of his ass. Reminds me of a guy in our barn of an office here. He was complaining to me about this beer he bought. Said it was this dark heavy stuff like Guiness. Said he couldn't stomach the stuff and would I drink it if he brought it in. I said sure. The beer he brought in is a rather disappointing pale ale called Bitch Creek (of which I've purchased several six packs, but only because the name makes me smile) and is as close to a "dark beer" as water is to whiskey. So, to your point, Waters once again is throwing out something he heard in passing in an attempt to appear that he knows what he is talking about.

Good point.

Why don't we discuss this further over some beer on the rocks?
