I didn't mind the pale ale, I'll try these too. Wonder if the West Indies porter will be like foreign export?

This is going to be hilarious. Fiver says they both taste like Guinness.

Talking about Boortmalt and Guinness malting on TV3 now.

Bottle labels are pretty cool though, to be fair

[DEMPSEY]

Label's are good but then that's what Guinness are really good at

Supposed to be very similar from what I've read.Haven't seen it anywhere.Morrisons supermarket is the only place I've heard it being sold in.

I've tried them both. I guess you couldn't expect Guinness to branch out too much.  Both were nice but I definitely preferred the West indies one. The Dublin porter was a bit plain.

had a cupple of bottles of the west indies porter last night , im not a guinness drinker i will add so dont be trying to get me deported from cork, but in fairness its pretty nice. 6 0/0 hoppy for a guinness product so in all i was surprised.

I also saw these in SV last night and skipped the 3.8% and bought the 6% West indies and some O'hara stout for reference. I didn't find the WI that hoppy but it was the first thing the missus picked up on but I thought it was really molassey and about as sweet as you'd tolerate. Funny as I was thinking about knocking up a coffee/biscuity stout and went to SV looking for inspiration and the WI one is alright, I'd drink it again, no head and mouthfeel's lame and a bit too fizzy. Also quite similar to the Foreign extra in some ways. Jesus it hurts paying those prices though ...

Been seeing ads up north for these beers for well over a month now but still no sign of the beer anywhere. I'll give them a go but wouldn't be arsed paying too much for a bottle.

The Beer Nut has a good write-up on the series as well. http://thebeernut.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/whatever-people-say-i-am-thats-what-im.html

Picked up some of the Dublin Porter in Centra, just to give it a try.

It was fairly light bodied, very little head or head retention, no lacing on the glass, light on taste too with a slight burnt malt aftertaste. At 3.6% it's an easy drinker - almost a 'session Guinness', although at over 3 euro a bottle (500ml) it could be a very short session
