Feb 6, 2009 Black color with stable beige head. Heavy roasted coffee, sweet dark chocolate in the aroma. Roasted sweet initially then follows some resinous citrus hop tones, and in the finish turns dry and roasted with some hop leaves in your tongue. Medium bodied, smooth, but lively carbonation. More exciting than the Irish versions that i sampled so far.

A pleasant surprise. A really enjoyable and well-balance Guinness that tastes almost better than the Irish version. It’s quite sweet with nice chocolate and toffee flavours. Less bitter than usual.

Jan 3, 2009 Scruffy bottle from local asian off licence.. Black with a beige foam. Aromas are roast malts with lots of raisin fruitiness. Also has some light woody, smoky notes. Flavours are bitter coffee followed by sweet creaminess and dark fruit. The Sorghum gives it some gluten free beer character but its far better than the majority of those.

Dec 31, 2008 I was absolutely stunned at how good this version of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout was! I’ve had the Irish, American, and Belgian versions of this. In my opinion, the Nigerian version is the best. I have a sweet tooth so I know everyone’s opinion will be different. Nevertheless, this is a version I HIGHLY recommend to everyone. This version is sweeter than the others yet still has that great Guinness taste that we all love.

Dec 24, 2008 Pours dark brown with a creamy white head. Smells of sorghum, some sweet chocolatey hints, some molasses, dark fruit. Tastes of sweet corn, some roasty hints, spicy. Interesting and much more enjoyable than the garbage they ship to the US.
