| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 30, 2007 Pours black with tight, almost immobile, bubbles and a thin, quickly dissipating tan head. Smells of roasted malt and oatmeal. Tastes like barley, oats, almonds, and a little hop bitterness (which mellows as the beer warms). Chewy. I like this better than Guinness.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 30, 2007 Draught Can: Pours with that signature Dry Stout head that eventually levels out. Near black, with ruby at the edges. Has a deeply roasted aroma with oat hints. The body is a bit thin, but has a robust burnt malt flavor. Burnt barley, with roasted oat hints and a some coffee-like bitterness in the finish. Better than Guinness. oteyj (761), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA

Wonderful aroma and Rich roasted malt flavour with coffee, and chocolate. Forms a dense lasting tan head. Very smooth finish and medium to full palate.

Pours rich and creamy with a nice tan head. A bit creamier than Guinness, and perhaps a bit thinner. I could drink this beer for hours, especially at the price. A bit cheaper than guinness. If you like an Irish Stout, this is worth a try, especially if you already are a fan of Guinness or Beamish. It’s nice to have some variety once in a while! salzy (14), USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Soy sauce and roasted coffee beans. Watery why so watery? I like that it builds from a can. $7 a case cheaper than Guinness. Eh, why not? drfabulous (1241), Columbia, Missouri, USA

I’ve seen Murphy’s compared to Guinness You, too, probably make that comparison. It’s bad enough that English stouts are all too creamy. But if I have to have creamy stout, I’ll take Guinness. .
