Murphy Brewing (Heineken Ireland) Murphy’s Irish Stout Dry Irish Stout at 4% ABV (On tap at St. John’s Fish Exchange, reviewed 8-Jun- 2016)
Appearance: nearly opaque black with brown margins, one finger of dense creamy beige head, excellent retention and lacing. (5/5) Aroma: toasty bready grains, faint chocolate and coffee. (7/10) Taste: low sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Medium body, soft carbonation, bone dry lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
Quite a decent Dry Stout, for mass-market. I really appreciate the low sweetness and bone dry finish. Probably slightly better than Guinness Draught. (15/20)
My 228th from the 2010 Edition (217th from the 2013 edition), and 239th combining both editions.
