330ml can, my first ever beer from the Seychelles, cheers Bethany for this and the two other beers you brought back for me. This was poured into a Guinness pint glass at home on 18th December 2025. Looks like a Guinness and smells like a Guinness. It does however differ from the Irish version, it's got a more burnt malty taste and is more bitter in the mouth, plus it's stronger ABV wise of course. Tick!

How: Taster.
Where: Had at home.
Appearance: Dark brown colour with a beige head.
Aroma: Roasted malt, some coffee, some alcohol.
Body: Light body, medium carbonation.
Flavour: Roasted malt, some coffee, alcohol.

The Seychelles version of the original foreign stout by Guinness, thanks to tderoeck for this interesting find. Loose, greyish off-white, bubbly, opening head on a black beer with hazy chestnut brown glow. Quite unusual aroma - for this brand - of caramel, 'koetjesreep', elderberry syrup, ground hazelnuts, some rusty iron. Sourish onset, weirdly and unexpectedly so, hinting at blackberries and elderberries, but with evident caramelly malt sweetness making up the core of this beer; softly carbonated, with a slick, smooth mouthfeel, a tad thinnish even for this ABV. Caramelly, Ersatz-chocolatey and lightly brown-bready malt body, straightforward but pleasant, though plagued by a metallic edge and some onsetting oxidation in the end. Remains sweet-caramelly in the finish too, with only very soft toastedness and hardly any hop bitterness, followed by a glow of warming, though well-behaving alcohol. I will never forget the distinct character of the Nigerian variant of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, and this one comes quite close to that, in a way; tastes quite different from any of the other regional interpretations I had of this beer so this must be a tick in its own right - even apart from the fact that it obviously makes for a difficult country tick as well.

27/II/20 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ a pretty big tasting for a workday, BB: 12/V/18 (2020-172) Thanks to Alengrin for the bottle!

Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, stable, bit irregular, adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, sorghum, some chocolate, soy sauce. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet touch, nice roast, bitter, bit sourish, chocolate, cocoa powder, bitter touch. Aftertaste: nice roast, malty, grains, bit sweet, dark chocolate, pretty decent.

Bottle, 0.30l, courtesy of Marko, shared with colleagues. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, leather and alcohol. Pours cloudy dark brown color with thin quickly diminishing light brown head and almost no lacing. Tastes of medium sweet roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and leather with grassy bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Brewed in Seychelles, drank in Slovenia...

Bottle at a tasting with MisoW and Cuso. Donation by Rubin77. Lots of unnatural coffeeish cocoa mix - like cheap coffee chocolate. This defines most of the character. Light stinging alcohol, rather bitter. Okay.
