Also, can anyone rec any other beers to try if I like Guinness? I ask cause well, I'm 22 and just found the joy that is known as Guinness, as of yet it's the only beer that I like.

A Black & Tan is a beverage that's half Guinness and half Bass Ale (or to some people half Guinness and half Harp ale), usually served by the pint, but best in half-yard glasses if you can find them. Prperly done they layer so that the Guinness floats on top of the glass. You start by drinking pure Guinness, in the middle they're partially blended and the end is pure Bass Ale.

No, it's a lagger, but it's the lagger thats most likely to apeal to guinness drinkers.

you mean Stella Artois? it's a belgium beer, and i don't see how it would automatically appeal to Guinness drinkers.

I didn't sy automatically, but they have similar flavors. So it seems a logical choice. But w/e.

they are completely different beers, and don't taste alike to me.

I'm mostly opposite of that. I like it, but if I want to enjoy a beer, Guinness probably won't be what I buy.
