This 8% abv stout has long been a secret pleasure among beer connoisseurs and indeed our Brewers, who value the mouth watering intensity of its roasted malt, smoked wood and dark chocolate notes, not to mention it's excellent and seemingly endless finish. Since 1944 we have been exclusively exporting this same special stout from Ireland into Belgium through the vibrant port of Antwerp. This is the first time we're making it available for general release in America.

Reddish black with a solid tan he’d. Aroma of caramel malts. Flavour is creamy roast malt, lightly smoked. Burnt sugars at the base, lingering bitter finish.

Single bottle from Mariano's, as Guinness Antwerpen Stout. Pours a great big brown head over an opaque black body, but one with a bit of brown at the edges. Dutch cocoa on the nose, some coffee, and a hint of bourbon alcohol. Foam stays stiff, and has a bit of a roast coffee taste over the liquid part. Taste is rich with bitter chocolate and coffee, a bit of velvet texture. Alcohol is present, but remains in the background to warm me up as I drink it. Goes down very easily.

1/12/2018. Bottle from Tesco Kesgrave, as Guinness Antwerpen Stout, and shared at the 1st Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours dark mahogany brown with an average sized beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, molasses and dark chocolate. Heavy sweetness and moderate bitterness. Medium to full bodied, sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Bittersweet finish. Decent brew for a Guinness.

330 ml bottle. Labeled as Antwerpen Stout. Opaque black color. Large rocky tan head. Earthy, roasted malt nose is reminiscent of that trademark Guinness nose with added notes of brown bread and shoe polish. Sweet roasted malt flavor brings flavors of burnt sugar, licorice and dark chocolate. Smooth and flavorful with warming alcohol notes in finish.
