As for Guinness Nigeria, they use an unfermented, hopped extract shipped in from Dublin and add it to unspecified local ingredients. My guess is that certain ingredients are easy to get locally, the others are not of the same quality (or quantity) as those available in Dublin, so the extract replaces those that are harder to come by.

Thanks very much, it was an honour to be there....
Hi Barry! It was an honour to hear you talk about your homebrewing...
It was a great night, with great people and great beer....
How about using a possum ? ;-)...
We need to follow this gentlemans lead and create our own...
And it is already sold out. Wonder if a bottle has made it to Oz ??...

They have used sorghum in the past in Nigeria, maybe still do.
The item shipped from Dublin is Guinness Blending Agent,also known under a variety of names, sent to all overseas breweries brewing Guinness.
For detailed information get your hands on a copy of " A Bottle Of Guinness Please " by David Hughes a brewer of Guinness for 16 years including time in Nigeria.
Chapter 3 is very informative. If you can't get the book
contact me and I may be able to help
I had a bottle of Guinness FES recently and the only thing that stopped me tipping it out was that I was in (not driving) a moving vehicle and had no where to get rid of it except my stomach. Tasted worse than the least appealing kit stout I have ever thought of trying.
Can you tell me in which country the FES was brewed, A/V percentage and expiry date please? I remember true FES at 7.9 - 8% A/V, indonesia has a 4.9% can marked as FES!!!
