Guinness - Extra Stout 22oz Btl (22oz bottle)
Guinness Extra Stout in a 22oz bottle is a crisp, carbonated dry stout with a signature roast character, bittersweet notes, and a clean, dry finish. It features a medium body, opaque ruby to near-black color, and a robust tan head, offering an aroma of roasted barley, coffee, and cocoa with subtle hop undertones. While not for beginners or those who prefer the creamy, nitrogenated taste of Guinness Draught, this historical, higher-ABV (5.6-6%) version provides a more pronounced hop bite and malty flavor profile, making it a classic choice for stout enthusiasts.
