AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Honestly, the reason the can is so much better is the Widget. The Widget is actually Nitro filled and if opened and poured immediately it will be the same as a daft (Draught for the purists). The bottle on the other hand uses the "Rocket" which doesn't actually contain Nitro, it just stirs up what is already in the beer.
You should never pour a Draught Bottle into a glass, just as you should never drink a Draught Can from the can.
Now, the Extra Stout is different. It will come in a bottle and it should be drunk from a glass. But it's a totally different brew.
It's a non-traditional English bitter brewed in Maine by the Shipyard Brewery. I just wish it wasn't a 4-hour round trip to pick up a 12-pack.
I used to drink bottled Guinness when I was underage. Then I turned 21 and had it on tap and the bottled Guinness didn't taste nearly as good. I'll have to try the cans, though. Any Magic Hat drinkers around? If you're into the whole hefeweizen thing, you've gotta try their Circus Boy.

Heck yes! I love Circus Boy! A few fraternity brothers and I used to go get "proper beer" every other week from the local big liquor store (Green's if you're in SC or GA). But yeah, I love heffeweizens. My favorite would probably be UFO from Harpoon. Its pretty tasty. Samuel Adams attempted to make one, its ok, but definitely not up to par with the UFO.
On those same lines, any Hoegaarden drinkers here?

Which bottles did you drink? Extra Stout or Draught Bottles? There is a huge difference between the two as they are actually two totally different brews.

Hah, my fridge is currently stocked with Old Thumper, UFO and Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. UFO is damn good. They make a pretty decent Raspberry UFO, too.
Muzikman: I think I was drinking Draught bottles. I had the Extra Stout once or maybe twice, it was a while ago... I've got to try the cans, though. A few friends of mine swore the cans tasted better but had no idea why, and now that I hear all this I should try 'em. Only ever drank the bottles.
Wait why can you poor extra stout out of a bottle? Is it because it's dark? I've got some German and English dark beers that I'm taking back to college with me. I want to know if I can poor them, they're all bottles.
