Doesn't the Extra Stout Say Product of Ireland?

I have been wanting to try this for a long time. Guinness got me in to good beer, but after having awesome Stouts, I realize what it is - a light stout. No it is not a meal in a bottle - 4.2%, 125 calories. This FES is supposed to be great, and I will finally have something good to compare my own FES to. I bet mine is still better

.

icehog, you should wait and do a side by side with Guinness FES and my FES, hah.

I love guiness.....I will def be picking some up.

I'll giver her a go! I recently ha a Guinness draft and it was not nearly as good as in England and I blieve even that is not rewed in Ireland.

mastershogun · 09-23-2010, 02:00 PM

I love this stuff... had some in Ireland (the only place I found it was at the Guinness facility). Good news

VirtualSmitty · 09-23-2010, 02:54 PM

timo · 09-23-2010, 02:58 PM

Having a glass right now.

Aroma has hints of sweet malt, roasted barley, coffee, and chocolate - although nothing dominates. Also has that "Guinness" smell (souring I guess, although it doesn't smell outright sour).
Nice carbonation, I'd say medium. About medium bodied.
Flavor is some nice roastiness, some actually hoppiness (bitterness from the roasted grains may help this) and it tastes noticeably sour, for a normal Stout at least. More so than regular Guinness, but nothing crazy.

Overall, I like it quite a bit, and will probably buy it here and there, and I don't buy much more than once, or a few times if it's great.

I was going to compare it to my FES, but they are completely different beers with the sourness of Guinness. I like them both for what they are, although I would rather have mine instead of the Guinness. The Guinness is great, but it's no O'Daniel

If you like Stouts, go pick up a 4pk of this. $8.99, at our store at least.

icehog, like I said, they are completely different beers, but I'd still be interested in a side-by-side if possible

Louistogies · 10-08-2010, 04:35 AM

Sweet. Gonna pick this up for sure!

bigdix · 10-08-2010, 07:09 AM

It's about time.

Doctorossi · 10-08-2010, 09:16 AM

Anybody else (besides ODLS1) actually seen any on the shelves yet?

Mr.Maduro · 10-08-2010, 09:33 AM

Is this going to be a limited release?

I haven't seen it in my usual beer store yet.

Brutus2600 · 10-08-2010, 09:41 AM

I'll drop by my local liquor store and see if they're getting it in. I'm pretty stoked about this as well.

rack04 · 10-08-2010, 09:47 AM

I haven't found any locally in Dallas.

Jbailey · 10-08-2010, 10:00 AM
