Bought a 4 pack of this. 7.5% ABVPretty nice beer. Some fruitiness. A little diacetyl. Pretty smooth. I enjoyed it. Have you had it?

I bought it at Harris Teeter, so I'd imagine it's everywhere now. I'd be that Lowes Foods on Capital in WF has it. They have a nice selection.

Madly searched for the guiness i had a couple months ago.I found it in a sixer,and was quite pleased.Not sure of the alcohol percentage,and passed on buying any beer today.I know it was the foreign extra stout though.MMMMM..good stuff.

Hmmmm. . .the sixer is possibly just the Extra Stout. The Foreign Extra Stout comes in 4 packs, with kind of a golden/bright yellow label.

It has a brighter yellow label. Someone had it as a ringer in a HB Stout comp, as good as I remember.

This has been around for a while, hasn't it (like many years)? Or is this another non-nitro stout offering from guinness?

So now there is Guinness Extra Stout AND Guinness FOREIGN Extra Stout?

Hmmm...interesting. I've always liked the extra stout, I'll have to try the foreign.

Yesir Howie,your correct.I found them side by side in a cooler today.

Yup

What's the difference?

Didn't have them side by side, so I can't comment on specifics.It's definitely a bigger beer - higher alcohol
