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 and Nigeria, should be rated here.

Dublin-07. I picked this one up at the St. James’s gate brewery store. Dark beige head, and dark black colour. Very roasty and bitter with full body.

Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Poured a dark brown color with a small/medium beige head. The aroma showed hints of dark fruits, roasted malt, and a light burnt note. Overall, a little light for a stout. The flavor is much of the same and also a little light for a stout. Dark fruit, slight roast, and light bitterness in the finish. There was also a sour note. Could this have been a little old? Anyway, I’m glad I got to try this one once.

Thick and rich, malty and bitter. Full of flavor, always reliable. It is sweet, with cream, chocolate, and a bit of fruit; balanced by bitter burnt barley, coffee, soy sauce too. Great and reliable.

A very tasty variety of the classic Guiness stout. Hard to come by, but tasty. Bitter and flavorful!

Black. Rocky brown head, fluffy and 1 inch thick. Bitter chocolate, vanilla and roasted malt aroma with a hint of alcohol. Sweet and sour and bitter, quite vinous in flavor. Long tangy finish. Has that distinct black current Guinness note. Rather light bodied for the sweetness. Strange beer.
