The STRONGEST GUINNESS You Can Buy?!

[@jamesphillips2826]

Now you're on the subject of regurgitating content.. I've been thinking that you did my city of Leeds unjust and your hungover review of my city was a disgrace to the city. I would like to invite you back and show you how not just pubs but how cocktail bars have taken over the Guinness trend and vibe and put the extra love into the pint than you would get at a regular pub been your average Joe and not the Guinness guru... so as I have spent 12 years in hospitality i would like to take your on a tour of Leeds and expand your awareness on the cocktail scene and how Guinness is a big trend within... Much love, love the content and the editing on this was a step up c

Hops don't add alcohol, yeast eats sugars to make alcohol. But yes the extra hops and alcohol do help it keep better especially in hot climates.

As a caribbean man, this is the go to strength brew. Everything else is a fresh walk in the park. Now living in France it's a challenge to find a good Guinness. Looking fwd to coming to Ireland to experience the ting there. Cheers.

The only Guinness craft beer lovers will drink. It’s the hops and the strength that do it for me. I do still have a creamy regular Guinness sometimes but Foreign Extra Nigerian is the chocolatiest hoppiest Guinness and I love it. I have had a 4 pack on many occasions

I drink FES at home regularly. I love the extra flavour, and believe it or not, the strong taste does mellow after you've had the first one. I'm a big fan of the heavier stouts, so FES is a must for me.

[@Darrenmccall74]

I’m going to set those gulps as a ringtone lol

[@LaurenceBrydges-rf7ti]

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is closer to the classic London Stout Porter style? Also, the production method for this and a lot of other foreign Guinness is bonkers & brilliant, literally a Guinness concentrate that’s added to a neutral beer at the brewery (this is lifted straight off Wiki): Guinness Flavour Extract, a dehydrated, hopped wort extract made from barley malt and roasted barley, is used for overseas production of the stout. The syrup is shipped from Ireland, where it is added at the ratio of 1:49 to locally brewed pale beer. In most overseas markets, Guinness Flavour Extract (GFE) is blended with locally brewed beer to produce FES.

[@grantbassett2048]

Hi, Great Video, especially the( Amplified Gulps 😅)not a fan of that bottle. The Guinness West indies porter is a good full bodied but drinkable choice. Or my go too stronger bottle, is (McEwans champion) 7.3% darkish red/brown. Looks good, taste good. Maybe do a video on that as a change??😊

[@bendaye5065]

Try the Nigerian one mate there’s 2 different foreign exports, Nigerian one has foil wrapped round the top, Im from Jamaican descent and it’s all they drink there & in Nigeria, but can’t beat a original Guinness fraught for me especially when traveling to dublin

[@derekdempsey8506]

Where in Dublin can you buy the foil one?

[@racer14glr91]

I'd definitely give it a go. But, outside of Guinness Original in the can , I only look for the "variety" 12pk bottles that come around some times. Living right near Baltimore, Guinness Blonde is quite tasty

[@PodgeVSooty-hy8qp]

Me and my friend have a bottle of this after a couple cans of guinness draught at the weekend. Once i had the bottle of FES first then when going back to guinness draught it tasted watered down in comparison. For me its the richer flavour in this that i really enjoy, i love the taste of original guinness but this is so much more denser and richer. Although i must say i do feel rather pie-eyed after one bottle, especially the 569ml bottles that B&M's are currently selling!

[@mossy199]

Been in London 20 years and that stuff is rough as s**t. Bought 2 bottles home for my old man at Christmas when i moved over (He was from Garristown actually 😉). We shared one, i came back at Easter and the other one was still there. 😊. Carribean lads love it. Carribean Dragon Stout is much better. Strong % but much smoother.Great drop actually. Maybe do an episode with the Carribean stouts. 👌

I'd like to see a comparison between Nigerian and Irish made Guinness Foreign Extra, both are stocked in England.

Nigerian is a lot sweeter, I think to a sickly extent. Irish made has a better mouth feel and more standard stout flavour notes, just ramped up to 11.

[@krishendo9433]

Foreign extra is liked in jamaica, gambia and nigeria. Probably other places but these places I know for sure. They have a brewery in nigeria also. maybe more than one I don't know. It's more standardly drunk than normal strength guiness think its practical cos it keeps longer, so deals with the heat of these places better... and we just fukn love it mate. I know some man that pour a shot of 63% wray and nephews white rum into a bottle and drink that, and have like 2 or 3 of those in the night o: I will have about 3 or 4 of these FES bottles on a long night at the pub though. without the wrays of course. Most pubs don't acutally sell them either. Only where carribean/african people frequent really.

[@massiveterry4213]

I live in London and the corner store by me sells this, £2 a bottle you can't go wrong, I definitely prefer it to regular guinness out of a bottle or can. It's like the marmite version of guinness, super intense flavour. I get it's not for everyone but it makes normal guinness feel like a refreshing soft drink in comparison. I love grabbing a few of these on a Friday night before going out.

[@tent7014]

They brew it with Sorghum which is a hybrid type of wheat that gives it some of its distinct taste.

[@shaneminogue982]

Guinness Foreign Extra has an interesting history and for many years it was my drink of choice, until I had to give up drinking. Good draught Guinness is and always will be where it’s at but, as a Nigerian cab driver said to me, “nothing in my country happens without Guinness”. Foreign Extra is a whole different drink and the Nigerian version, which can be distinguished by the gold foil top, is a bit richer and sweeter. You need to drink it very cold and you will get a taste for it. If you’ve never tried Jamaican Guinness punch then PM me; you need to.

It better to buy those high percentage ones cos it worth the money considering the high price of Guinness, here a 6 pac cost around $27 nzd which you could buy a 12 pac of other beer brand and a few more bucks and you could get yourself a 24 pac of Beer so high percentage is always my go 2 if I want some Guinness.
