Holy Crap! Stopped in the store last night looking for something a little different when I saw a pack of Guinness with a different looking label. It was $7 for a four pack and it was called their Foreign Extra Stout. After reading the label I was intrigued enough to check it out, and let me tell you - Damn this beer is good!
Being a pretty big Guinness fan at the beginning of my Beer Renaissance I know fully well what Guinness brings to the table. It's a unique and distinctive beer that is good, but somehow fell from my beer graces since I've been exploring other stouts and porters (and also with my new realization that I'm a complete hop-head!) Anyways, I didn't expect anything drastic, but once again I was completely amazed at how good this was. It was different than the original in a lot of ways. Didn't have the distinctive Guinness "sour" flavor that I don't think many people like completely. But it was full bodied and very rich. It has more hop flavor to it, and there is a beautiful roasty aftertaste to it that leaves you craving another chug immediately after each one you take!
Well, I'm still blushing from this tasty brew but I feel much better after sharing this with all of you. Just wondering if anybody else has similar feelings for her, and of course also if anyone else has checked into a recipe formulation for it. I really don't know where to start right now, but I feel like getting to work on this quickly so let me know what you guys think!
Cheers and Slainte!
