jGuinness Brewing Co.'s Foreign Extra Stout is "the fullest in flavor of the Guinness brand variants" and has only been available in the US since 2010.
Strong for a Guinness -- 7.5% ABV.
Review:
A picture is worth a thousand words. So, look at the picture! That is a very dark beer with a very tan head. And you can trust me, that head never goes away. 'Nuff said about the appearance. The Aroma has wonderful vanilla, roast, and semi-sweet chocolate notes. The taste is creamy and roasty but not heavy. I would classify this as a medium bodied beer. Mouthfeel, and aftertaste are smooth and smoother respectively.
(Side Note: This beer was available in the US from 1817 until prohibition. It has been 45% of Guinness' beer sales around the world, but has only just returned to the US. Welcome back! Check out this link for more info.)
Overall Impression: Smooth! Tasty! Best Guinness ever! Where has this beer been for the last 78 years or so?
(This beer was purchased at the Liquor Collection)
