A very rich dark frothy beer, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a full-bodied flavourful lager. An underlying shivering effect followed by a self-contradicting dry completion implies this intricate tasting lager is strong. Utilizing the first formula of West Indies Porter, Guinness have made the spirit of the West Indies in a container.

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (FES) is a stout produced by the Guinness Brewery, an Irish brewing company owned by Diageo, a drinks multinational. First brewed by Guinness in 1801, FES was designed for export, and is more heavily hopped than Guinness Draught and Extra Stout, which gives it a more bitter taste, and typically has a higher alcohol content (at around 7.5% ABV). The extra hops were intended as a natural preservative for the long journeys the beer would take by ship.
