While I have nothing against acquired tastes, and also while I am perfectly happy to drink a guiness when one is put in my hand, the comparison of the stuff with swill just seems so accurate.
There is no other beer that I can think of with so much mythos behind the ingredients!
Because of the production process, beer stays drinkable for a very long time if the bottle is properly sealed. I think I once read even stale beer isn't bad, it just tastes awful.

I know this is a reply to an extremely old post but when I googled 'Is out of date Guinness ok to drink' I stumbled (pun absolutely intended ) across this thread...
I disagree 100% with gregmightdothat on his claim on 'worst quality control of any company ever'
Per 'gregmightdothat' "Sometimes... They unfortunately seem to have the worst quality control of any company, ever. Maybe 1 in five or six times, Guinness tastes amazing. The other times it's hardly drinkable."
Guinness have most probably THE best reputation for quality control out of all Beer/Stout etc. producers in the WORLD. They send out their products in perfect condition. If your local pubs/bars are serving you sub standard Guinness products it is down to them, not their source!! I've been in Thailand and lots of other destinations around the World and have been served Guinness at its best in one bar and then sub-standard Guinness in other bars... This is down to the Bars/Pubs NOT where they got it from!! Seriously, it's not rocket science FFS. Sometimes, (A lot actually) I despair at the idiocy of some people...

A pox on you. Guinness is ambrosia.

Bottled guinness tastes too bitter, but the stuff in cans (and on tap) has always tasted the same to me.
I'm not going to tell you what else I found in the cellar!
Decapitated body slung over the crates?

It won't kill you, true...
