About this bottle

Guinness Special Export is an Irish stout of 8% ABV, brewed at St. James's Gate in Dublin and made especially for the Belgian market. The beer came about at the request of John Martin, an English brewer living in Belgium who was looking for a stronger Irish stout for his Belgian friends. Guinness brews it from water, malted barley, roasted barley, hops and yeast. The beer has been pasteurised since 1930.

Maturation has always played a part in the history of Guinness. For the Foreign Extra Stout, the house's other strong export stout, young beer used to be blended with beer that had soured naturally in oak casks under the influence of the wild yeast Brettanomyces. Today this is done with pasteurised beer that is soured in a controlled way with bacteria.

Guinness Special Export is a dark beer from Ireland. This stout gives a lovely warming mouthfeel. First come aromas of blackcurrant, roasted malt and butterscotch. On the palate, dark fruit, coffee, chocolate and liquorice come through. The coffee flavour dominates. The finish eventually fades into a note of bay leaf. This beer also has an alcohol content of 8.0%
