You want a stout but not a heavy one? This is your guy. Guinness Smooth is the famous dark pour dialled back to a chilled, can-friendly 4.5%, so you get the roasty coffee depth and that creamy head without it sitting on your chest. Crack one cold after work, line a couple up for the football, or let it ride alongside the nyama choma. It looks serious in the glass and drinks like a treat.
Pour it and you get that signature near-black body under a soft tan head. The nose is roasted barley, a bit of coffee, a touch of dark chocolate. First sip is smooth and rounded, more mellow than a classic Guinness, with coffee and roasty malt up front and a sneaky fruity, butterscotch lift through the middle. It finishes clean and gently bitter, not the long dry bite of the original. Easy company, start to finish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
The Guinness name goes all the way back to Dublin, and Smooth itself first poured there in 2003 as a lighter, friendlier stout. What's in your hand, though, is properly local. Kenya Breweries Limited brews this version, with the team here working hand in hand with the Dublin brewers and leaning on Saaz and Cascade hops, roasted barley and ingredients sourced close to home. It launched in Kenya back in 2019 and quickly became a regular in the fridge.
