Burrrrp!... Stout...
How do you make an Irish Martini? Easy. Pour a pint of Guiness and a shot of Jameson on the side.

Once you have grown out of Guinness you will find there are hundreds of other stouts that blow that one out of the water.
I have been drinking stouts for longer than I can remember. Guinesss is always what most beginners will think of when someone says 'stout'. But that beer is about as boring as they come for stouts, very simple, low carbonation, little flavor, just nothing complex or interesting about a Guiness.
If you want to play with the big boys give this a try:

Fuck anyone on there that doesn't give it an A. Best stout I have ever had and I have had hundreds of them in my day.

It is an ale. Basically there are 2 types of beer. Ale and Lager. There are other styles and mixes but the two main ones are these . Stouts are generally Ales. Ales Are fermented at higher temps than lagers using top fermenting yeast and lagers with bottom fermenting yeast. You get different clarities and flavors from the different yeasts and temps which can be pretty distinct. Theres many other things involved with the different types and styles but thats the basic difference between ales and lagers.I'm drinking one right now actually. The price club in these parts have them on sale 24 pack for $25. That's like a dollar a pint. I stand corrected about it being a pasteurized stout although I knew that already. I tend to call all beers "ale".
I used to bartend at a Belgian beer joint. Good times. We had 175 different beers by the bottle and 17 on tap (all Belgian). The kegs on tap rotated often so I got to "try" a new beer just about daily. I wish Leffe still imported their brown ale stateside. That was like drinking a happy nestle quick for adults.
Some say you can't say you have tasted Guiness unless you drank it in Ireland.
