Better than Guinness? Surely not.  Though it would probably be 
smoother, and less heavy.  In fact I think the only thing stopping it 
from being disgustingly sickening is that it must be fairly light.  
Light ginger beer (the real brewed stuff) but without the 
tang/kick/fire.  If you must compare it to a stout possibly Gillespie 
(a light Scottish thing I tried once [only found it once]) or 
possibly, though I cringe to suggest it, Guinness and Black?

But Pumpkin juice? there is no excuse.  How can they drink that stuff?
Pumpkin pie is nice, though when we made it not many people thought 
so, as I recall.

-Ben. Hoping he can have Guinness at his meeting tonight. And not 
butterbeer.
