Could this be the perfect beer? A creamy head with a chocolate body...Very Very good Beer. No complaints.. I prefer over Guinness which is pretty good itself.

Very nice foam and a beautiful nice dark brown colour. Not a very strong taste but that is exactly what makes it perfect for some pints at the pub during a nice football match!

Pours black w/ a full wicked creamy head. Finally reduces to a thick creamy blanket that just sits there. Aroma is mild w/ roasted malts. Medium nectar w/ no residual effers. Flat and creamy. Moderately roasted malts w/ a mildly sour bittering component. The finish is bittered w/ charcoal and leaves the same flavors at exit. The best thing about this is the appearance. I think I like the froth flavors better. I had this side by side w/ Guinness and I liked Murphys better because the hop profile was more persistant.

This beer was like a weaker version of Guinness in almost every way. It still had the burnt chocolate flavor of Irish Stouts but it had a very "empty" quality to it. Almost as if there was one or two levels of flavor missing from it. Not a bad beer but not one I would seek out in the future.

How i have not rated this one either? Smooth chocolate and vanilla aroma. Pours thick black with a hung cream head, and settles up due to the nitro. Creamy vanilla and chocolate flavor, with a really good roasted malty finish. Very Smooth.

When first poured it has a strong aroma of chocolate and it looks dark like chocolate too. The taste is very creamy of chocolate and tofee, almost to good to drink.

40 cL from tap at opening for 1964@Brøndby Stadium. Poured deep creamy brown with light brown head. Aroma is slight smoked and malty. Taste is malty, rye and smoke with notes of coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Mild finish.

I remember tasting this in a side-by-side comparison with Guinness and Beamish. It had more taste than Guinness, which is more comparable to Coors Light than its own myth. Having just drunk a pint of this off tap, though, I’m can’t possibly see how I was right, unless, of course, Guinness is even worse than I thought. I’ve eaten paper with more flavor. If I was Irish, I would be embarrassed that this swill is capitalizing on my tradition and ruining my good name.
