One thing we agreed on was that the addition of Guinness in the mix made for a "richer, more complex drink", as noted by the Mango Lassie. The kick was definitely noticeable and appreciated by all. We ended up with beer backs the second time around, though the choice of Bud Lite was kind of ick - they would have done much better with Guinness, or even Miller Lite if they wanted to stick with a light, cheap summer beer. Ooh - Corona would have been awesome - with a lime! But I digress. The garnishes were not consistent (one observant judge noted that some had meat - while others didn't! BOO!) However - it was definitely one of the best we've had so far, and absolutely worth getting again.
Dunlay's - you are the clear winner of your first round against Stanley's!!
just say no to bud lite!
