Guinness Foreign Extra Stout Beer 7.5% vol 330ml Bottle (358300)

Product Information

Brand:
Guinness

Description:
Originally brewed to withstand long journeys, the use of higher gravity and more hops resulted in a bold tasting beer with a complex flavour profile. Still brewed at our St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin, Guinness Original is crafted from finest quality malt, hops and Irish barley. If you were in a pub sometime between 1821 and 1970, chances are this is the Guinness you would have been drinking. Originally brewed as the XX version of our Porter, it's hoppy, roasty and crisp with a bittersweet finish.

Marketing:
Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a robust and flavourful beer variant brewed by Guinness, one of the world's most renowned breweries. This stout beer is characterised by its deep, dark colour and rich, complex taste. It offers a strong roasted malt flavour with notes of coffee, chocolate and caramel, balanced by a subtle bitterness. What sets Guinness Foreign Extra Stout apart is its higher alcohol content compared to regular stouts, giving it a stronger and more intense profile. It's a favourite among beer enthusiasts who appreciate bold and hearty flavours.

In the early 1800s, while other breweries were content to stay close to home, we struck out into unchartered territories, braving the perils of sea travel to export our famous black Guinness beer across the globe. Brewed with more hops to preserve the beer in the ships’ holds during voyages of four-to-five weeks in tropical climes, the recipe yielded a powerful stout with a complex, fruity bittersweet flavour.

Preparation:
Best served chilled.
