From the Guinness website.....
GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout is the strongest in taste and strength of the three. It is available only as a high alcohol carbonated product sold in a bottle and has a strong oaky complex flavour. At the time GUINNESS began to be exported to overseas markets, beers were generally sold at a gravity of 1,078 degrees, which was sufficiently strong in alcohol to help the product survive long sea journeys. Until 1962 all GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout sold the world over was brewed and conditioned in large oak vats in Dublin before being shipped to export markets.
