I was thinking of either Guinness or Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark. Basicly, something with a stronger flavor than this shitty, watery tasting crap like Keystone, Bud, and Miller Lite. I'm not drinking to get drunk. Just want something that tastes really good.

If anyone has tried either of these, or has another suggestion, go ahead and list it. If you can describe them it would help also.

Go get some crownies.

Thank me later.

Baltika.
There are different types, this is a very dark one. Foul stuff.

Goooooo carling!!

Edit: I know carling isnt a dark beer. I hate dark beer.

Just dark colored beers?

Why does it matter what color they are?

I will never understand why certain people automatically think dark beers are better, or prefer them to lighter colored beers. Some of the most flavorful beers in the world are Belgian trippels and quadrupels for example, which can be QUITE light colored (straw), and often even pack a harder punch than all the stereotypical "dark" beers that people mention.

If you are talking about flavorful beer in general,, I recommend you check out my "Review Thread" in which I review many many beers, with much more to come. I just started writing my reviews in a notebok instead of here on totse, but I will post some highlights this weekend before I leave town.

A lot of English ales have a very nice rich strong flavour. They aren't necessarily dark so don't think that anyone drinking a light-ish coloured beer is a poncy lagerboy! Also don't discount 'bitters', they are strong pale ales - I imagine 'bitter' is fairly unheard of in the US - could someone verify this?

My personal favourite ales are:
Yorkshire Terrier (you won't find this outside of... Yorkshire... so no help to you I guess)
Spitfire
Newcastle Brown Ale
Old Bob (you won't find this outside of East Anglia)

Some common ales/english beers that you should be able to find in a good off licence in the US are:
Guinness
Spitfire
Newcastle Brown
IPA
Old Speckled Hen
Bishop's Finger
Old Peculier (yes, I did spell that right)
Boddington's

People dont use the term bitters, but plenty of pale ale is made in the US, more than in the UK actually, and MANY MORE varieties.

In fact the American style of pale ale (APA: American Pale Ale) is MORE 'bitter' than the IPA's and basically any kind of bitter prefered in the UK. But just like many Americans dont know the term 'bitter', I bet most peple in the UK don't know that! :P

And as for UK beers in the US, Spitfire.. less likely. New castle yes. Some others are, Greene King IPA, Welss Bombardier (in a bottle if possible, as the nitro cans are terrible!), Tetleys (not flavorful, but popular).

Some more favorites of mine are, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout, Dorothy Goodbody's Stout, and many others.. but I feel like I should mention MURPHY'S stout as its very popular in the US too.
Some of those I would have to disagree with. Boddingtons for example, though they call it 'pub ale' or 'bitter', its well, not. ITs smooth and mild tasting,very little hop flavor, and despite the low ABV you can taste the alcohol - weird!

You are telling me Americans don't know the word "bitter"? Or that it is referring to beer? sambob, your arrogance is astounding.

Bitter is a kind of ale.
