Guinness is more like bread than milk. Anyway I sit down have a good draught and sure enough, even though it's black as coal it tastes creamy. I mention it to the guy next to me he says 'you know it's 10%, right?' No, I didn't.

Because it isn't. It's 4.2% ABV and only about 125 calories per 12 oz. I think people confuse the dark roast in the malt for high strength.
