Commercial Description:
Higher in alcohol content than other Guinness products, this stout has a strong, oaky, complex flavor.

Editor’s Note: This is the standard FES. Sometimes it is imported from Ireland but more often it is brewed locally. This version is most common in the Caribbean and Africa. All versions from those places, save for Jamaica, Nigeria and Ghana should be rated here.

This is a good beer. Strong to the last drop, then the aftertaste takes over the battle ;-)

Clean slightly yeasty aroma. Nice dark brown color with a full tan head. Initial flavor was of honey with a slight citrus finish that was nicely lasting althought maybe slightly metallic. Palate was moderately thick. Enjoyed this beer.

Poured a deep, dark, brown color with a small, light tan head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of peanuts, butterscotch, chocolate and roast, with light burnt notes. Lots of roast and chocolate in the taste. Light oak and nuts, but dominated by roast. Very nice. Best beer I found in Aruba.

wow, i was WAY impressed by this one for guinness. poured nearly black with tan head. smells like brown sugar and sweet beery goodness... its much smoother than draught and much better tasting... sweeter taste, more licorice and brown sugar with hint of carmel. i’d recommend at least trying it, but defeinitely dont expect it to be speedway or anything

Sept, 2002: I found this extremely smooth and creamy - much softer than the standard Guinness. The strength is well concealed. [3.0]

The Great Guinness Taste Test with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/guinness-foreign Nigerian FES and <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/guinness-special FES.
Darker colour with thick lasting brown head. Light charred aromas some smokiness and a not too great malt component. Almost yeasty aroma rounds off the end. Up front roasty flavour attack. Tart finish with lighter carbonation. Poor malt flavours carry through to the end. Charred smoke seems almost acrid. By far the worst of the three, although not too bad.
