Dense, creamy head. Earthy, coffee notes in the nose. Taste is a solid, drinkable stout, maybe less bitter and chewy than the Extra Stout. Smooth mouthfeel, toffee finish. Superbly drinkable with board food in cooler weather.
Tasting on its own, a pretty excellent standard stout. This is exactly what a stout should be. I would like to try it next to a Rasputin Imperial stout. Tasting with Guinness Extra Stout pending.
Addendum: Had it side by side with an Extra Stout recently. Foreign is actually more bitter, but more flavorful, picked up on a lot of coffee this time. I prefer it over Extra Stout, but Extra Stout is probably more appropriate for cooking purposes.
