The beer is great. How would some one go about cold brewing?
Just use the same process as when you “triple hop”. :
;D
Seriously, It’s just marketing talk. It’s a lager, so it’s brewed “cold” compared to an ale.
they use cold fusion to heat the kettles.
It’s taken up in a near orbital vehicle and boiled at 70*f.
Have seen this at the beer store. What’s it taste like?
BTW I wasn’t all that impressed with Sam Adams’ version.
“Hey, let’s put some lager yeast in our stout wort.”
“Ok. Now what?”
“Let’s call marketing!”
Dark Matter in a bottle
It’s ok. Not my favorite.
Yeah it was drinkable, I might even have a couple. Wouldn’t be a go to though.
The sad part is that several stores here have taken the Guiness FES off of the shelf to open up a spot for this stuff.
I had a bottle or two at a restaurant. I found it pretty good, a nice example of a Schwartzbier in my opinion.
I like the FES, but it doesn’t rate the premium they charge for it IMO. I’ll save a few dollars and get the regular ol’ Extra Stout and have two more bottles to boot.
I have not tried the Black Lager. But I did try whatever it was they rolled out as their anniversary beer a couple years back (100th anniversary?). I did not like it, did not finish it, and they were giving it out free that night.
It’ll be back. 
FES is one of my all time favorites. Every time I drink this beer it is exactly the same as the last time. Which is pretty impressive IMO.
I’m with you there euge. Guiness FES comes the closest to what I remember tasting in the local pubs when I visited Ireland. Of course it is lacking the STRONG aroma of cigarette smoke, but that is a positive in my humble opinion.
Pricewise - my go to beer store has 20% off of all beers on Fridays, so I buy it then. That gets it down to $2/bottle before taxes.
i avoid things that say guiness on them
So how do you find out what the world records are then?
Good idea!
Meanwhile I’ll enjoy my Guinness.
I like Guinness. And the FES.
Taste’s like a good version of a Black Pilsner. Haven’t tasted the Sam Adam’s version. I’m not much of a Sam Adam’s fan, maybe it’s their marketing but I prefer cold brewed beer.
Is that better than “frost brewing”? Frost brewing sounds colder, and beer’s better cold.
At a local “Irish” bar they had Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale, a Guiness brew on nitro tap.
I thought it was pretty darn good. Try it if you get a chance.
