Draught >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Extra

Extra tastes like some awful kind of soda. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't over carbonated. Unless you mean Extra on tap, which i've never seen.

Stouts on the whole are rather disappointing in my book. They're almost like aperitifs to me rather than a solid drink. Kind of like how I'd never settle down with a glass of port unless it was part of a very large meal in semi-formal circumstances. Of course I prefer a very hoppy beer myself so IPAs and the like are where my taste lies.

Whenever I have a stout, I find myself looking for some more flavor or body after the initial chocolatey thick goopy taste is gone. Guinness in particular is woefully thin on the back end as far as flavor is concerned and the only lingering taste after a swig of it is vaguely stale and metallic.

I have had a few passable stouts but it was many years ago and really they were the exception. Honestly, let your palate mature a bit and wander into the land of hops - that's where you'll find real complexity and pleasure in your beers imo.
