Guinness Black Lager

My next door neighbor was actually the one who first told me about Guinness Black Lager.  He saw the commercial for the beer and eventually bought a six pack of it.  He was kind enough to put a couple of them in my beer fridge.  Since then, I too have seen the commercial for the beer.

I am a fan of Guinness Stout, so I figured I would like this brew as well........I was right.  It is a cold brewed, lighter version of the original.  Even though it is lighter it still has all the flavor you need and expect from Guinness. 

If you were looking for a comparison to another beer.........I would compare it to something like the Abita Turbo Dog.  If someone hasn't tried Guinness Stout because of some sort of fear of the "heaviness," then this might be an option for them to try first.  This could be their Guinness "training wheels."
