Beer of the Week: Murphy's Irish Stout

Beer score: 4.6

Company: Murphy's
ABV: 4.0
IBU: 34

Pours black. Real black. Dark black.

The aroma given off is that of burnt coffee and dark chocolate, with hints of dark bread.

The taste is much as the smell, with perhaps a touch of toffee and a slight tea-like aftertaste.

Extremely weak for a stout, in my opinion. So weak, in fact, you could guzzle this beer (and stouts usually should not be guzzled). One of the wettest beers I've ever had ... so wet it isn't frothy or fizzy, almost as if it's somewhat flat but without the dullness of a flat beer.

Not an exceptional beer, but not a bad one, and worth giving a try.
