Beers similar to Guinness Extra Stout

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and dry character as Guinness Extra Stout. A direct descendant of the archival recipes at St James's Gate, based on a beer Arthur Guinness II specified in 1821 as his Superior Porter. Unlike the nitrogenated draught version it is carbonated, which gives it a sharper attack. The aroma is medium and balanced, with roasted grain and a subtle fermentation fruitiness alongside coffee, toffee and caramel. Bitter and sweet meet in the middle of the palate before a slight bite carries into a dry finish. In Ireland and continental Europe the same lineage is sold at lower strength as Guinness Original. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
