If you are referring to texture, you might use terms such as full bodied, creamy, etc. And in my opinion, the only beers that should be served ice cold in a frosted mug are the beers you don't want to taste! The more complex the beer, the more you will get out of it with a bit warmer serving temp. Yes, syrupy has a sweet connotation.

I do indeed mean texture. I find Guinness to be thick and very syrupy which isn't something I like in a beer. :) David, Thanks for linking my review! I do indeed mean texture.

This is because of all of the unfermented sugars that were left in this beer. By my calculations, based on the original gravity (published by the brewer) and the alcohol content the final gravity is 1.019 or 16 Plato. Check out my review here: http://beer47.com/2009/03/new-holland-cabin-fever/ I find the Guinness comment curious. Do you mean a syrup-like texture? Because Guinness is actually quite a dry beer with slightly lower than average calories. I believe it is the nitrogen that gives it the thick texture.

It's awesome and it's probably too early in the day for me to have one! ;) Actually it's funny you mention home brewing because it's something Scott and I have recently started talking about. I think we would like to try it and see how it goes. Bryan, oh yeah it’s totally not a sweet beer.

Although, that's not stopping me from having a pint if offered one =) Have you ever tried brewing your own beer, from like a kit? My brother started doing that - the only problem he had was trying to get empty non-twist top beer bottles in order to fill them up (because everyone recycles them too quickly). We had to actually go out to the store and buy beer and drink it in order for him to get enough empties - yeah, what a horrible task - we HAD to drink beer, haha.
