OK, I'm Irish from both sides of the family. That said, I just don't get the whole Guinness mystique. Sure, it was the world's first light beer (125 calories for 12 oz). That is an honor to be respected and a factoid to toss in the face of those calling Guinness "heavy".

I love the color and the cascading head on a properly poured pint. And that's about where the love affair with the Emerald Isle's ambassador ends. The taste just isn't there. Sorry, it isn't. Feel free to use it in recipes without guilt or without fear of Irish mafia retribution.
