Smithwicks

[Eddie Haskell]

further from wikipedia:

Smithwicks is an ancient Gaelic word which means 'brown liquid that make Kosar sleep'.

Been drinking this stuff the last couple of months and have become really, really attached. Its a dark Irish ale made by Guiness but does not taste like a dark beer. Actually, they sold it (shockingly enough) at Paul Brown stadium.

First time I bought it last fall I pronounced it liked it was spelled and was immediatley corrected by a bartender at Nicholsons in a plaid skirt (although he did have rather good legs). The correct pronounciation is "Smidicks". I've heard its been around Ireland and Britain for awhile but is just catching on here in the US.

Its probably been in the US for decades but just arrived in Cincinnati. Just like Mark Twain said, he wants to be in Cincinnati when the world ends cause it will happen here 5 years later. Anyway, just wanted to pass a good beer along to all my best friends here at Madjacks.

What do the rest of you guys think? I thought it was just alright. The thing I like about dark beers is the heaviness that they bring. I guess since this one drinks like a lighter beer is why I'm not such a huge fan. For those who do enjoy lighter beers you may like this one a little more.

Eddie I pegged you more as a cosmo girl.

 

[MadJack]

they're not bad. a little rich tasting compared to my regular choice of bud. i'm a simple guy when it comes to beer. usually stick to budweiser and mickeys. this is good for a treat? and no way could i knock 12 or more of these down in a sitting. too filling. know what i mean?

 

[MadJack]

alright, this is a good beer but it's not a drinking beer. it's a beer to have and enjoy if you're having 2 or 3 like with lunch or a nice dinner.

when i drink, i drink for the buzz, period, and budweiser suits me just fine. i can't sit here and down 12 of these smiddicks because they're too filling. if the alcohol content was higher it would be a different story but it's only 4.5% and Bud is just shy of 6%.

i'll stick with Bud (or mickeys) for my drinking but if it's available after a round of golf to go with my burger, i'll have 1 or 2.

looks I need to put this one on the list :SIB

Good beer but I would recommend McEwans Scotch Ale. This stuff is addictive but WARNING you had better be able to drink because if not a 6 pack will take out most.

I'm from Wisconsin...:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

Wisconsinite's were bottle fed tap bear as babies. Sadly we lead the US in the percentage of adults who drive intoxicated. 25 % of Wisconsinites admit to driving drunk. WOW
