In the early 1800s, while other breweries were content to stay close to home, Guinness struck out into unchartered territories, braving the perils of sea travel to export our distinctive beer across the globe.
Brewed with extra hops to preserve the beer in the ships’ holds during voyages of four-to-five weeks in tropical climates, the recipe yielded a powerful drink with bold character.
Originally known as West India Porter, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout has evolved throughout the ages, but its soul has stayed the same.
Pack your bags, whet your lips and dive in.
Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS®.

Jet black pour, beige head. Nose is roasted malts, coffee and earthy notes. Taste is decent amount of roasted and earthy notes, some sweetish booze and faint licorice. Light bodied with soft to normal carbonation, drinks well below the ABV.

Opaque black, creamy mocha head. Huge aroma of sweet, roasty, milk chocolatey malts. Soft mouthfeel, soft carb, you can really taste the original recipie, but its fuller, thicker and way more robust. Loads of sweet, sticky, roasty, soy laden malts. Medium bitter finish, with a solid roasty aftertertaste.

Bottle 0,65ltr: Opaque black colored brew with an sweet bitter taste with an well hidden sournesh. Hints of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and caramel. This one is brewed at Guinness Cameroun and bought it in the Hague at Africa Products Shop, Spui 231. Handy with an Nigerian girlfriend to find this kind of shops, extra handy if they sell African beers for foreign ticks.

Now 6.8% it seems. Brewed in Ireland but served at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 330ml bottle. Poured almost black in colour with a thin, broken off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, herbal. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, earthy, herbal, light molasses, liquorice bitter palate and a lingering liquorice bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

0,33 l bottle. Pours almost pitch black with quite big, light brown, lasting head. A bit of fusel alcohol aroma while pouring along with roasted malt. Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolate, licorice, a bit of dried fruit, alcohol and smokiness. Taste is medium sweet and on the heavy bitter side. Body is full, carbonation pleasant. Finish is quite long, sweetness fades quite quickly, but then there's another roast bitter kick that lasts. Really nice.
