Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a bold tasting beer with a complex flavour profile. Its origins can be traced all the way back to 1801 and the original recipe of West Indies Porter. Originally brewed for export to Africa, Asia and the Americas, the beer had to withstand long journeys and harsh climates. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is brewed with more hops to originally preserve the beer in the ships’ holds during voyages. This results in a full-bodied, roasted flavour with subtle sweetness and a robust and roasted aroma with intense notes of dark chocolate, caramel and dried fruits. Foreign Extra Stout truly is a drink of distinction to be savoured.
Alcohol By Volume: 7.5
Units: 7.5
Tasting Notes: Robust and roasted aroma with intense notes of dark chocolate, caramel and dried fruits. Smoky notes and a vibrant bitterness follow. Where extra hops and a stronger alcohol percentage were once used to preserve the beer, allowing it to survive and thrive during long sea voyages, now they yield its bold taste and unique flavour profile.
