Guinness Special Export is a version of the famous Guinness brewed specially for consumers in Benelux. Stronger in alcohol than its big sister, this Export version displays a dark, opaque colour in the glass, revealing a certain family resemblance to "classic" Guinness.

It presents a powerful bouquet of fragrances, with a combination of roasted and fruity malt aromas. It brings to mind cocoa, black fruits such as prunes and grapes, licorice and smoked grain, all at the same time. In the mouth, this beer reveals itself to be a far lighter and less sweet than its big sister.

With an aqueous and relatively dry body, Guinness Special Export develops on the palate the deep flavours of grapes and prune with strong roasted notes reminiscent cocoa and coffee, also roasted grain. A pronounced malted bitterness makes its appearance at the finish, bringing with it dry notes.
