UNITED KINGDOM: Dublin, IRELAND: 5.6%-ABV, 40-IBU, 45-SRM: Guinness Extra Stout (also known as Guinness Original) is a classic, crisp Irish dry stout, a direct descendant of early 1821 recipes, offering a balanced mix of roasted malt flavors, coffee/caramel notes, hop bitterness, and a dry finish, distinct from the creamier nitrogenated Guinness Draught by its carbonation, making it sharper and more hop-forward.
