Commercial Description:
Higher in alcohol content than other Guinness products, this stout has a strong, oaky, complex flavor.

Editor’s Note: This is the standard FES. Sometimes it is imported from Ireland but more often it is brewed locally. This version is most common in the Caribbean and Africa. All versions from those places, save for Jamaica, Nigeria and Ghana should be rated here.

Black with a lasting off white head leaving a nice lace. Caramel and toffee aroma, and some butterscotch. Rich malty flavour, plenty roast malt, nice bitter finish.

Glass in Paris. Looks excellent in the glass, smells all pretty like too. Taste hits you on the first sip, though it became admittedly harder and harder to drink till the bottom. Impressive though and plan to try again.

Bottle (cameroun). Black colour with a huge fully lasting light brown head. Powerful aroma and taste of roasted malts and coffee with notes of bitter chocolate. Good beer.

330mL bottle. Pours a jet black (or dark enough that I can’t see through it) with a thick tan head. Aroma is molasses/syrup, coffee, maybe something else I can’t identify (edit: has to be some kind of dried fruit). Full bodied, lots of roasty, toasty, biscuit flavors, with a little puckering bitterness. Lots of coffee. Oaky? Definitely some chocolate. Not a session beer, but very interesting.

for once a guinness that doesnt absolutely blow. very dark, chocolate and coffee with hints of wood and a complex flavor that isnt the watery 4% draught shit.

This is now available more and more around in Ireland-at a relatively affordable price too so that is nice. Poured a jet black from a 330mL bottle with a large creamy tan thick head. Smells of coffee and molasses and syrup-your tastbebuds already feel a bit heavy when your nose is working. Tastes of a great stout-more fullness than your average draft stout. Coffee and malty and a bit sweet at the end too-maybe even a bit nutty and chocolaty too. This is definitely a full stout, and I feel like I can detect a bit of the alcohol so I know that it is strong. I would like to drink more than one of these in a session, but I dont think that I really could handle too many. It is a great beer to enjoy though and I am glad that they are more available to me everyday now!
