Foreign Stout
A Foreign Stout (also known as Foreign Export Stout) is a stronger, more robust style of stout originally brewed for export to warmer climates—particularly the Caribbean, West Africa, and parts of Asia.

How It Differs From Other Stouts
Versus Irish Dry Stout (e.g., Guinness Draught):
Foreign stout is stronger, sweeter, and more intense in roast. Dry stouts are leaner and more sessionable at 4–4.5%.

Versus Imperial Stout:
Foreign stout is much lighter and less boozy than imperial stout (which can reach 10–12% ABV), and less complex/oxidative.
