Guinness Foreign Extra Stout

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.

◎ Aussehen

Deep black with ruby highlights when held to light, displaying the characteristic opacity expected of a Foreign Extra Stout. A thick, creamy tan head forms and persists impressively, with fine carbonation providing visual liveliness. The overall presentation is elegant and commanding.

◌ Aroma

The nose immediately presents bold roasted malt and burnt sugar aromas, with prominent coffee and dark chocolate notes layered beneath. Subtle fruity esters peek through the intense roasted character, while the higher alcohol content adds a gentle warming complexity without being intrusive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full-bodied with rich roasted grain and molasses flavors, transitioning to creamy dark chocolate and coffee on the mid-palate. The bitterness is well-integrated at 65 IBU, providing structure without overwhelming the malt sweetness, while the 7.5% ABV contributes a subtle warming presence that enhances complexity.

◑ Abgang

The finish is distinctly dry with a lingering burnt sugar and roasted grain aftertaste that persists gracefully. The warming alcohol component gently fades, leaving a clean, satisfying conclusion characteristic of a well-crafted Foreign Extra Stout.
