As for me, a chocolately, sweet, and rich Guiness poured properly washed down with a creamy and smooth New Castle is my fav. Gotta have the two at the same time to appreciate it, and always gotta have it off tap if at all possible.
And when I'm broke, Miller Highlife is my steady.

For Hop-Heads ONLY!!!!!
My favorite IPA of all time!!!!

Even better, use a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout instead of Guiness.
Guiness is good but overrated IMO. Many better stouts (Youngs, Samuel Smiths are just two) are available.

I like Bud Light myself. My wife drinks miller lite so I end up drinking that sometimes just because it is easier. I’m not real big on the darker beer, a little too strong and heavy for me. I went on a tour of the Budweiser brewery in Jacksonville, it was pretty cool. After the tour you get to taste 5 different beers from darkest to lightest.

Honestly, I probably would not try it since I am not a fan of the Lager style.
Ales > Lagers IMO.

Believe it or not, Guiness Stout has less alcohol and a lower specific gravity ( means it is less dense) than plain ol buttwiper.
The color throws a lot of people off.

Yeah, the oatmeal is fantastic, but the Imperial Stout is my favorite from SS.

LOL alright, I can at least appreciate that....but try some of the beers were suggesting here, you will find that ALOT of beers (most in fact) are better than bud from the tap :-D
