I visited the factory in Dublin 3 weeks ago. I was skeptical about reports that Ireland Guinness was better than American (or anywhere else I guess) so I tried some around Ireland. I started every meal with one then switched to Whiskey (Powers or Bushmills) for the rest of the evening.
I also tried some at the Guinness Storehouse as well. I was surprised, the Irish version is much mellower, creamier and has more of a chocolate taste to it.
The day I got back home I went to the corner bar and had one and it was more bitter and less tasty, almost stale tasting.
Yes, I agree with you, now that I have had the Irish version, I no longer want to drink the export crap.
