Guinness Extra Stout: Warm or Cold?

[keith929]

+1 room temp.

Does not the can say enjoyed chilled?

The can of which you speak is the Guinness Draught. The beer in question is the bottled Guinness Extra without the widget, just CO2.

Guinness in a bottle is a different beast all together. I definitely prefer my Guinness in a bottle to be room temp.

Chilling ale is wrong on every level

I love Guiness draft but honestly I had a bottle of this extra stout in my fridge a few years back because my wife mistakenly picked up a six pack of the wrong Guiness. I couldn't drink it. As much as I like the draft I hated the extra stout. Guess I'm not such a man as I thought lol

Cellar temperature, please.

 

[roadqueen]

Room temp, right around 65-70 degrees for me, please.

Neither warm nor cold...... Cool!!!

Wow!!! What a group I've joined. Pipes, Guinness (prefer Murphy's), add Jameson whiskey and chili and you are all dear to my heart!

 

[martiniman]

I apologize for skipping to the end and if anyone got this earlier but the temp should be 56 degrees.

cellar temp. even though the can says serve cold.......

Love all Guinness and love them cold

After drinking Schlitz in the field in Vietnam an about 110 degrees I now drink my beers chilled. I hope this doesn't offend the purist here.
I prefer lagers and Mexican beers, with some of Guinness's other brew Harp as well. Heck, I like many different labels, just chllled for me.

The colder the better and from a glass bottle .

 

[easterntraveler]

I don't care. Love it

Cellar is my preferred, home is Texas so half the year its in the fridge so now bottles rupture. My roomtemp is a little higher than Obama asked yall to turn the AC to. lol

Joys or working from home though. Great dress code for warm weather.

American beers are best nice and icy!

I agree to a certain degree....

I've never been fond of a beer Slurpee. :D

 

[lordape]

I've never thought to try it room temp. Now that I think about it, maybe I have... I have it what ever temp the lovely young lass at the bar pulls it. I think I might have to get me a Guinness at the pub next time I visit. Nom nom nom nom.

 

[mrenglish]

Slightly chilled. Just slightly.

In the pubs in Ireland, Guinness bottles of Extra or Red Heart always set on a shelf and were served at room temperature - usually with a whiskey on the side!
Draught Guinness from the pump was slightly chilled but as the years have went on, it has been chilled further.

Guinness draft in its home church in Dublin seems to come cooler than room temperature but not chilled,

with a good head as the result of careful drawing. This takes a little while to achieve, so give the barkeep

time. They really are working on it, but give them the necessary time. Also, in Dublin, with your Guinness,

there is usually a generous bar buffet for a most modest price, plenty of food, to keep you around for a

second pint, and maybe another.
