There was no indication on the can as to whether the ounces were US or UK.
Therefore, I assumed because it was sold in the USA, the importer or
Guinness itself would see to it that it is in US fluid ounces stated. but,
it can be an error and the 14.9 could be imperial. Any chance of that?
Curiously, if anyone is familiar with this can, what size would it be in a
metric country? How would it be labeled?

I asked because the type of ounce (US or UK) affects its size and hence
the conversion to milliliters.
