In tribute to Guinness Foreign Extra, a constant through Lanre Bakare’s tales of party and song, we dug into the history of the style – prominent roast barley and black malt profile, dried fruit aromas, and a sweet, rounded body – and fine-tuned it to be a respectful but distinctly Monk take on the style. Expect flavours of coffee, tobacco, and bitter chocolate rounded with notes of sweet caramel, molasses, and sweet cherry.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 2 months past BBE. Lovely thick looking black pour with small fairly tight beige to tanned head. Aroma of liquorice, treacle, roasted malt, chocolate, berries. Taste starts with a berry fruitiness and liquorice, then some roast, dark chocolate and coffee bitterness kicks in before a dry, ashy finish with remnants of the berry tang. Medium+ body, oily, slightly zingy carbonation when something softer would have worked better. Very good stout.

Can shared with Ogivlado and Vid. Pitch black body, tan-beige small, thick head that went away soon enough. Soft aroma, chocolatey and grainy, light coffee, well developed and highly pleasant. Lean, dry taste, chocolate again, light raisins as well, soft, harmonious, light carbonation bite. Not as impressive as the aroma, but a very good beer overall anyway. Bit disappointed they didn't do it with sorghum just for kicks, but there you go, definitely not complaining about this one!
