Realistic answer .... no, there is not that much carbo. in them, especially compared to a simple energy drink like Gatorade.
Beer drinker's answer ..... yes, of course! Especially a nice frosty Guinness!
Agreed that frosty and Guinness should never be used in conjunction with each other. General rule of thumb is that the darker the beer, the warmer it is served.
As for the double chocolate stout, you can't be beat there...Young's makes the best, but as another hobby, I am a homebrewer as well. I have made a
decent representation, but the real deal is still the best.

Oh, I'm not getting on you for liking it well chilled. However, I do think you miss some of the flavors of the beer when it is really cold. Try drinking one that is about 48-52
(like the previous poster said
) and then one that is well chilled
(like 32 or so
). See which one really tastes better.
Agreed that the glass makes all the difference as well. Just like wine, beer needs to be served in the correct glass. Makes all the difference...Try a guinness in a tulip shaped legal pint glass at about 48 and tell me what you think...
On topic, there aren't as many carbs as you think in beer, even the "heavy" ones. But, I have beer on tap at the house, and usually pull one off after a long ride on the way into the shower...

It says right on the Draught can ...... serve well chilled ......... and that is how I love it!!!
