Guinness Extra Stout

Extra Stout is a more-than-decent Irish Dry Stout. My original rating was 3.5. I upgraded from the rating after the third bottle. It is a pleasant beer with a nice touch of charcoal and chocolate. I could see adding occasionally six 11.2 oz bottles for $9.99 into my beer rotation
