Too right. I did the arithmetic. 4½ units of alcohol per bottle!

Thanks jeczap - will have to check them out on my next costco trip .... certainly not a drink for a school night in 600ml bottles!

It is nice stuff but my favourite is the West Indies porter

Hi, defo 600ml of 7.5 :smiley:

Just looked this up on ratebeer. A 95 rating! Versus a 51 rating for the 4.2% Guinness Original.

The labelling on the Asda bottle is different to to the B&M version.
Here's a pic of the one from Asda (haven't got a B&M one left to show the two together)

Presumably because Asda sell the made in Ireland drink, whereas B&M sell the grey import version from Nigeria.

Apparently the ingredients are very different depending on where it is made.

Cheers Freddy!

Can anyone advise whether this or the Nigerian Guinness is better? And how do you tell the difference between the two?

My local (Stockton) had a fresh delivery this morning so it is worth checking your local. I've had one just now and this stuff is beautiful, it isn't the first time i've had but it never lets me down.

B&M is nowhere near me, but thought it worth mentioning that Costco sell 12 packs of this (i.e. Guinness Foreign Extra, 7.5% ABV) in 600ml bottles for around £24 (give or take a few pennies, I can't remember the exact price) - really nice stuff

This beer is amazing, love it - heat

Goes great on muesli

Got this a few weeks ago in my local, but last time I went in it was sold out :disappointed: Shame, it is really nice!

To my Guinness love, you MUST try Nigerian Guinness. It is amazing!

It seems all these alcohol deals are not available at my local. Don't seem to sell alcohol :disappointed:

Why is it different?

Picked up a few more this morning, and they were all BB 2nd March.

You should try with a whiskey chaser (Black Bush of course!)
Heat for the deal - I'm in the mood for one now!
Is it weird that Northern Ireland B&M stores don't stock alcohol?:stuck_out_tongue:

B&M always gets these in, well worth the price.
Pretty strong drink so will last well past the sell by date, just keep them out of the sun.
Personally I prefer to drink this just under room temp.

Heat!

you need to keep you're eye on the dates of them. a lot have January date on then. very short life

89p for a 7.5% drink :confused: This needs investigating!

Been this price for at least two years in my local B&M. The best bottled Guinness you'll ever try!

Unfortunately all of the 6 or so North East B&M stores I tried to buy from on Tuesday were out of stock.Went to Asda and bought 12 bottles of Guinness Foreign Extra but its not the same (currently drinking but its a drier taste).All staff asked said say no imminent plans for restocking but may or may not reappear in next few months depending on their buyer.
Fingers crossed as the B&M (Nigerian?) Foreign Extra is the better of the two versions.

Yep this brew is special, chill it down and enjoy it. Drink of kings.
