This limited-edition beer celebrates the rich global history of Guinness, blending our Irish heritage with the vibrancy of African culture and the creative spirit of Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster, Garrett Ollver.
Together, we dive into new ingredients, highlighting Fonio, an ancient West African grain that lends the robust flavors of the region to this bold and lively stoul.

From a can purchased at the brewery.
The taste is of a beer past its time, perhaps stored warm for a while. No date on the can, makes me wonder how old it is?
Not very “bold”, nor very “lively” as the label indicates, nor good as I had hoped it would be.
