The ever favorite black beer in Malaysia, The "Guinness Stout" or fondly known by the chinese as "Black Dog" had undergone major change in taste recently. Many avid "black dog" drinker and loyal fans - including myself have found that the current Guinness is too light in body and taste. Now the macho "black dog" had turned too "pussy"!
This grouses against Guinness was true and serious, some "fans" even resorting in cursing Guinness by writting graffiti on the walls. I have read ones that say: "Guinness is a con job, they uses lousy ingredient now". There are many critisim of this kind. Please pay more attention next time you frequent a "Kedai Kopi"
Although Guinness try to potray the new "black dog" as the new smoother taste thru her massive marketing efforts, but putting less alchohol content(8% vs 6.7%?) definitely affects the good old taste, the marketing message do not work on hardcore "fans" like us.
I have switch to "Royal Stout" for now on, except for the Guinness Draught, which is still smooth and yummy!
I believed "Royal Stout" definitely enjoying a bumper sales now!!
