yes, a few pubs down the street have had it on tap for a few months

it's nice, but it's not nearly as creamy as a standard guinness stout, intentionally

it's more of a stout/porter hybrid.

it's pretty intriguing

9/24/2009 8:15:08 AM

Guinness, oh how I love thee. Let me count the ways.

9/24/2009 8:17:53 AM

Brilliant!

I liked it, but it's a bit heavy for my tastes.

9/24/2009 8:59:19 AM

i think i'll sneak a drink (or 5) at work!

9/24/2009 9:00:36 AM

To Arthur !

9/24/2009 9:01:22 AM

250 years?

9/24/2009 9:53:43 AM

that's older than the US... wow

9/24/2009 9:55:40 AM

Ya know what's really crazy? Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease w/ an annual rent of £45

9/24/2009 10:09:17 AM

So you know the ingredients, but you don't know the concentrations!

ummm...fifty/fifty?

9/24/2009 10:18:06 AM

^ I LOL-ed! But I love me some Guinness--only in cold weather, though.

9/24/2009 10:28:44 AM

TO ARTHUR!

9/24/2009 12:55:56 PM

i should force myself to drink like 15 of them

i can't even remember the last time i threw up, let alone black vomit

9/24/2009 12:57:09 PM

Tried to find the 250 stuff, but they don't have it in my town.

Got some Extra Stout instead.

9/24/2009 12:58:14 PM

I'll pickup some extra stout on the way home

9/24/2009 1:08:31 PM

You can buy a 6 pack at that beer & wine place at crossroads plaza in Cary.

9/24/2009 1:26:37 PM

You mean total wine?

I love that place, but I'm not in raleigh anymore.

All I've got here is a food lion and a small lowes food.

I thought it tasted like Guinness "Lite" and won't be going back for more.
