OK,
between Steve and I it certainly means a stout. As for our
_brothers_ here in the Bay Area I'll leave it to them to define their
forms of lubrication, but hopefully not in this thread...
Gotchya! As I said...pays to check! :)
Mind you, when I did drink...Stout all on its own was a bit "thick". Used to
have what they call a portagaff. Equivalent of half stout and half seven up.
Back home it was Vic Bitter or Coopers Ale... but that was a long time ago.
I'm more of an ale man myself, but stout is good too, "would you like a
slice of my beer while we wait for yours?". And for the person spreading
viscious roumours earlier, beer in britain is typically served at
*slightly under room temperature*! Hows that for progress.
OT: I recently confirmed freqencuty told tale that guiness in ireland is
OK (normally I cant stand the stuff). It really is different, doesnt
taste of ash.
