Guinness Fonio Stout is a limited-edition beer brewed in support of the Brewing for Impact campaign, a collaborative initiative inspired by Brooklyn Brewery Brewmaster Garrett Oliver's work with ancient West African grain fonio. The 6.2% ABV Guinness Fonio Stout shares an impactful new experience with flavors of roasted coffee, chocolate, and tropical fruits, and features special packaging designed by Haitian American artist Kervin Brisseaux.
