I don't usually drink Stouts, but this one writes the exception rule in my book. This has a very nice dark color to fit the style. The smell is somewhat of cocoa (as another reviewer wrote). The taste is very nice and smooth. The mouthfeel is what surprised me as it felt very rich and smooth. The drinkability is also good, which I usually don't find on stouts. I know Guinness is a favorite of many, but in my humble opinion... this one beats Guinness.

I've also had this via can and bottle... and it doesn't do it justice. This is definitely one to get on-tap... if available.

Tasted this in various pubs in Cork, Ireland. Be sure to drink this in pubs like the Welcome Inn to get the full Irish experience.

Lots more taste than Guinness. And yes, it is better than Murphy's.

That said, Guinness is ok for a night of drinking, but Beamish is Stout how it's ment to be.

Buy it. Buy it now.

Dark brown-black pour, nitro bubbles cascaded along the glass, settling as a firm, creamy, tan cap that retained well. Roasted malts in the nose, coffee notes, and not much else. Pretty standard stuff for the style. Taste was malty and dry, woody, coffee bitterness, and some unsweetened chocolate. Pretty smooth mouthfeel, medium body, a decent beer. The poor man's Guinness.
