Living in Boston I have grown to loathe Guinness, Murphy’s is now my choice at many of the Irish pubs I may walk into. Murphy’s has a full flavor without too much bitterness, the creamy smoothness makes me want to quaff more than just a couple pints. It has the trade mark appearance of any other Irish stout but hands down it is the best as far as flavour.

I decent dry Irish stout, and an underated one too. First brewed in 1856, it's breweries and water have been blessed by bishops too -- if that counts for anything.

In my opinion ... comparable to any other Irish stout that hides its flavour behind a creamy, milky, nitro-induced mask. They might not have the marketing muscle of Guinness, but still worth a try for what it is.

Nitro-tap in a pint glass.

A- Black and opaque with a mocha-tan 1-plus finger head that has staying power. Heavy foamy lacing.

S- Sweet roasted malts with a hint of Irish whiskey back up the strong chocolate and coffee aromas.

T- Malted milk with a drop of Irish whiskey.

M- Medium and creamy with no carbonation. Roasty malt dry finish.

O- This Irish dry stout avoids the thin feel and limpy body found in other versions of the style. That helps set it apart.

Really enjoy the chocolate taste and aroma of this stout. Goes down smooth, great dessert beer. Not a very complex flavor, but I'm very surprised I liked this beer out of a can (I typically don't like canned beers; sue me). Doesn't taste as dry as many stouts do to me, and the roasted malt flavor really works. Coffee aroma and tastes were present as well.
