Guinness Extra Stout
$ 2.10
Fruit and caramel flavours initially emerge, followed by smoky undertones and a lively bitterness. Extra hops and a higher alcohol percentage were formerly needed to preserve the beer so that it could survive and thrive on lengthy sea voyages, but now they give it its powerful flavour and distinct character

GUINESS EXTRA STOUT
- Guinness® Foreign Extra Stout is a beer born of a thirst for adventure
- Guinness® Foreign Extra Stout is a beer born of a thirst for adventure, tracing its origins back to a recipe for our West India Porter, first set out by Arthur Guinness II in 1801. 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 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 drink with a complex, fruity bittersweet flavour.
