About Legend Extra Stout
Legend Extra Stout arrived in 1992 and is Nigerian Breweries' entry in the tropical stout category, which is far larger in Nigeria than in most beer markets. It shares that part of the shelf with two dark ales the company acquired later, Williams and Turbo King, and competes against the stout brewed in the same country by a rival.
