Over 40% of all Guinness sold is consumed in Nigeria.
Starting the weekend later with a chilled bottle of Guinness Nigerian Foreign Extra. Basics.
More than two million bottles of the stuff is sold every day on the continent.

Nigerian Guinness can be found over these shores as “Guinness Foreign Stout”. It’s also a lot stronger than its Irish cousin.
7.5% compared to the Irish version's 4%.

Nigerian Guinness differs in taste from its Irish counterpart too.
Getting on the old Nigerian Guinness!
A difference in roasting technique gives a darker colour and a more hops-like taste.

This is partially because it uses sorghum, rather than barley to develop its flavour.
Having an Nigerian Guinness @EnishRestaurant . It's so peaty! Amazing! Does anyone know if Nigerian whiskey exists?
Meaning it has a peaty aftertaste and a strong roast flavour to it that some people prefer.
@FelicityMorse I tried Nigerian Guinness the other day, it was really rather good, much nicer than I've had in Ireland.
Here's what happened when we brought it into the Buzzfeed UK office to try.
Drink up.
Resident Guinness expert Declan Cashin had this to say.
The difference in aftertaste came up a lot from our lovely taste testers.
General consensus made it one to sip, rather than gulp.
Be on your toes if you find some. You might just like it.
