Whats on the bottle:

Brewed to travel the world, with more hops for a bold, intense, rich flavours. This is Guinness with adventure in its soul. Drink chilled, and drink in the beauty of Guinness Foreign Extra.

The Beer: 

Ruby coloured with a similar thick pouring texture to standard Guinness, with a more carbonated head.


Aroma:

A very milky sweet caramel aroma, with hints of chocolate and coffee.

Taste:

Very rich and thick consistency with the traditional coffee and burnt toast flavours of ordinary Guinness but you can tell  its stronger than ordinary Guinness (7.5)% as it loses some of the well known smoothness you associate with the worlds most famous stout, however it has the same richness you would expect of a standard Guinness.

Rating 7/10

In conclusion: 

This beer loses points for its quick head reduction, and for it not being as smooth as standard Guinness, however this may be a trade off for strength, as well as the fact it isn't smooth-flow with a widget.
