Nope, what they serve in Ireland is the 4% version. This is brewed for export; hence the Foreign Extra Stout in the name. Brewers tended to be regional and stay close to home as long shipping routes tended to spoil the beer or shorten its shelf life at the destination. Brewed with extra malt and hops, like the IPAs shipped to India, this has more alcohol and hops to retard spoilage. The practice helped make Guinness known around the world.
