Guinness to Release Foreign Extra Stout in the USA

[ODLS1]

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
