Murphys Irish Stout

Brewed by Magor (InBev UK - InBev)
Style: Dry Stout
Caldicot, Gwent, Wales

I had a can of this at Waxy O’ Shea’s Irish Pub in Branson, MO. 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!

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?

More canned beer! 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. .

Draft in Dublin. Classic dry stout, pours opaque brown with a nice creamy, tan head. Notes of chocolate and roasted nuts. Enjoyable, especially considering the mass production.

on tap at agosten’s (brantford on). my macro swilling buddies let me order our first pitcher of the night so i order this and they dont even pour a glass after they see it. "what the hell is that? motor oil?" well i courgously took the pitcher down solo while they order swill. its dark brown almost black with lotsa tan head. caramel is the main aroma but roasty chocolate malts come through as it warms. flavours are the same. a great session stout.

Sto mangiando la bresaola equina. Bevuta alla spina alla Polena di Genova (mai stato prima, posto abbastanza commerciale ma qualcosa di curioso in bottiglia c’è); può essere un’alternativa all’altrettanto stupida Guinness, ma non aspettatevi granché: colore usuale molto scuro, schiuma maron, aroma pressoché inesistente, vago, di caffè e nocciola, corpo acquosissimo sapore terribilmente sbilanciato sul dolce: stucchevolissima e dopo tre/quattro sorsi vien voglia di prendere una lunga pausa. Non va bene. _________ENGLISH TEXT HERE________Now I’m eating horse meat. Draught at the Polena bar in Genova (never been before, a rather commercial place but has something curious in bottle); it could be an alternative to the mainstream version of Guinness, but do not expect much more; color is usual, very dark, with brown head, aroma is non-existing, very distant, of coffee and nuts; body is watery as ever, flavor is overtly sweet: fulsome brew which, after two sips, you want to put in the wc. Not right.

Draught - nitro. At "It Ain’t Nothin’ But A Blues Bar" in Soho, London. Well, it looks fine - dark, opaque, decent creamy lasting tan nitro head. Lighter aroma than many stouts, nutty, sweet, hint of sweet chocolate and dry herbal hops. The taste is very light, sweet roast somewhat chocolate malt, sort of dry and very mildly herbal (almost faintly minty), with a very quick finish. Creamy, light body, dry on the palate, almost no linger at all - it went down smooth and quenched my thirst, frankly I’d probably take it over most draught Guinness I’ve ever had - but it didn’t make me forget non-nitro, full-bodied stouts by any means.

9/5/07 From a draught can. Aroma is toast, roast and a lightly tart malt forward with subtle chocolate notes. Appearance is a very dark brown with a medium tan head. Flavor is roast malt forward followed by a mixed finely grainy/coffee flavor. There is a sour hop tone with low bittering. Mouthfeel is medium/full bodied with a very dry finish. It’s smooth, with both some creaminess and astringency. Overall, it’s just not an exciting beer and needs more flavor.
