Guinness Special Export (Belgian version)

Brewed by St. James’s Gate (Diageo)
Style: Foreign Stout
Dublin, Ireland

I walked around the streets of Brussels drinking one of these. It was a great day and great beer. way more flavorful than any other guinness i’ve had.

Bottle at "1920" restaurant. Almost black, minimal brown head. Overall an improved and stronger version of the original one.

Bottle. Nearly black colour with a light brown head. Aroma is malt and roasted coffee. Flavour is bitter roasted coffee with some fruitiness.

Bottled. Nearly black stout, that looks clear, and with a nice beige head. Malty and roasted, with some burnt sourness and dried fruits. Roasted and burnt malt, dried fruit, cocoa and hints of coffee in the flavor. Full body and a dry finish. Much more interesting beer than the Irish little brother, but not suitable for sessions.

Taste is light cloves, chocolate, burned coffee, roasted malt, mocha, though it’s all a bit less intense than I expected. Medium bodied, moderate-light carbonated, finishes with some sweet prunes and plums.
