The Better Beer review heads to Cork Ireland for their next review to taste the second most popular Irish Stout in the world - Murphy's Irish Stout from Murphy Brewery Ireland Unlimited.
Transcript: "James: On Tap Murphys Irish Stout.
Hi, Im James Knott and this is your Better Beer Authority. Today we are reviewing our first imported beer Murphys Irish Stout from Murphy Brewery Ireland Unlimited - which is owned by Heineken.
It is an Irish Stout with 4.0% ABV and it is brewed in Cork Ireland.
Murphys is closely related to Guinness the most famous Irish Stout in the world.
There is a nitrogen widget in the bottom of the can that offsets a lack of carbonation in the beer and provides a creamy, thick head when pouring.
Murphys grain bill contains roasted barley, pale malt and chocolate malt.
What is chocolate malt?
The chocolate malt is what gives most stouts their dark color and Murphys gives it credit for adding hints of coffee, caramel and slightly roasted flavors to its beer.
Chocolate Malt is malted barley that has been dried at a high temperature. It does not taste chocolaty. It is named for the deep brown color of the roasted malt.
Scott, who drinks Murphys?
Scott: I think its a wide variety of people that drink Murphys. You mentioned that it had 4.0% ABV and that is on the low end. It really shows in the beer itself. It has a bitter, kind of, chocolaty balanced taste, but the alcohol is almost unpronounced in the beer itself. So, young drinkers could probably drink this if theyre looking for something new and exciting.
James: Ok. Hey Joby, does the mouthfeel match the head? I mean the creaminess that you see in the head?
Joby: Id say no. The mouthfeel is pretty thin once you get it into your mouth. Whereas the head is thick and creamy. Its a sustainable head, you can see in our glasses we still have a bunch of head in the glass. And even down to the final sip the head is still around.
James: What flavors or aromas are we experiencing here?
Adam: I got the lingering malted flavor, again the chocolatey flavor and a little bit of coffee. I consider this since Im lactose intolerant, this is my chocolate milk right here. This is what I enjoy all the time.
James: Scott, does this beer work for you?
Scott: It works for me for one beer. Id probably drink it with some fish and chips in a bar just hanging out with some friends, but I wouldnt go overboard and drink a bunch of them. It has so much bitter coffee taste that it just kind of throws me a little bit. Its okay. I would drink it. I would probably give it a six.
James: You dont see it as an exceptional beer?
Scott: No. I like stouts. I like Guinness, but its just not quite there for me. I dont know. The mouthfeel is a little off. Its a little thinner than Guinness. Its just not anything that excites me for some reason. Maybe its just today.
James: Joseph?
Joby: Well, as scott was saying, hes kind of comparing it to Guinness. Its hard not to compare this beer to Guinness. When you think dark stout, you think Guinness right off the bat. If I had a Guinness in front of me Im not sure if I could tell the difference. So, Id like to do this. Id like to challenge you America. Get a Murphys. Get a Guinness. Drink them both. Blind taste test. See if you can tell the difference. For me James, I rate it an eight.
James: An eight. Great. Adam?
Adam: I love this beer. Im a stout drinker. I like drinking this beer. I think we had one of our cameramen Frase he said that this could be a meal replacement shake for lunch. I agree with him. I would drink this anytime of the day. Id pour this over cereal. Id drink it anytime of the day. I give it a nine.
James: That gives Murphys Irish Stout a (???) on the BBA Scale. Head to you local pub, try it and let us know if this is your favorite stout.
AND Let us know what you think of the show. Whether you love it or hate it we need to hear the truth so we can keep improving. The comment section is waiting below.

i love this and guinness, but murphys overall has a better taste
I like this beer! It goes down smooth and has a nice aroma. No bitter aftertaste.
Can u get a good quick buzz off of this beer I never had irish beer before
@@mattshifflett6696 Yes
This is an excellent thirst quencher. There are two things other than water that serve this purpose. Gatorade, and Murphy's stout. After mowing the yard in August, Murphy's is a real treat. Also perfect with spicy foods. The only problem is, it's a 'chug-able' stout which also tends to make the lower ABV, part of a good design because, if you are really thirsty, you can destroy 3 or 4 of these in a hurry. If one is tired of trying to inflict or perceive a profound experience from everything they eat or drink, this stout serves as a great 'utility' beverage. When I was in Ireland, I leaned towards the Murphy's more than Guinness. I keep two 10 packs on hand at all times. I just wish it was more readily available. The only place near me that carries it is Total Wine.
Ay Murphy's is hard to find but that's always makes it great! 🍻
This American loves Murphy's Stout. I prefer it over Guinness and Beamish in the can. First let me explain that of American beers, I only go with craft beers from brewers such as Sierra Nevada, which in my view is better than anything coming out of Germany, Holland, Ireland, or the U.K with the exception of pub stouts. So to our Irish and Brit beer buddies, don't know American beer or those of us who appreciate them, until you've tried them.
I give Murphy's a 93% grade for stouts which is an A, and James tell your buddy to the right that if he doesn't really like stouts then don't judge them. One last thought Murphy's is also a low alcohol beer that's perfect for Saint Patrick's day pubing!
@dorf68 sort of. I bought the first couple of beers, but we are all having fun with it, so everyone is taking turns bringing beer for the group. Thanks to Hayes on Camera 1 for bringing the Murphy's.
having had this beer on tap, ive quite fallen in love with this stout being that i am a coffee aficionado as well
Thanks for tuning in. What's Grandma's Boy?
We just had Murphy's and guinness back-to-back this weekend and I think I would vote for Murphy's. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is my favorite Guinness beer.
I love this beer, smooth and wonderful mouthfeel.
Big props to Adam. I'm a Murphy's drinker. I live in Cork, Ireland where it's brewed. It's harder to find further up the country so I settle for Guinness instead. I go drinking every weekend and I always drink Murphy's. It's a lovely smooth tasting drink. Really nice. Adam has taste.
Great taste and smell. Tried it for the first time in Canada and ive been hooked ever since. Drinking one right now actually
After I drinked the two can of Murphy. I'm curious what inside so I opened it and found this round thing , this is the best beer 🍺 I've ever tasted.
#philippines
Yeah, I also tried this last friday and instantly fell in love with it. IMO this better than Guinness.🍺Cheers!
@Thisfriggindude I think we probably will at some point. I've been thinking about doing it for a while.
It's not bitter as in hoppy bitter, but stouts have a roasted bitterness to them. This is pretty light for a stout, but that's how Irish Dry Stouts are designed.
I agree with Adam... I would drink it in a boat. I would drink it with a goat. I would drink it in a box. I would drink it with a fox....I would drink anytime anywhere...It is, it is my favorite beer!
@mrphmcpat Thanks for the feedback. I recently had some really good Guinness in the pressurized bottles. That's the only way I think I'll drink it now. I've had two bad Guinesses in a row at bars on tap. It was probably dirty taps or old kegs, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I preferred the bottled Guinness to the Murphy's in this review.
@AgileHProductions I meant this and Guinness.
@pyroman675 It adds pressure to the can and makes the head thicker and creamier.
@0Tobin6 We don't have a tap on the Better Beer Authority set. Maybe we should install one.
I have Murphys stout infused cheese (Irish cedar)
cool review. I actually love Murphy’s a little more than Guinness. It’s got a nice bitter flavor and it’s not as heavy as Guinness
@lordlane4 Not sure, but it has very wide distribution. I would guess that you could find it somewhere in NJ.
@EmeraldIsleStar Guinness Draught in the U.S. is 4.2 percent alcohol by volume. Murphy's Irish Stout is 4.0% alcohol by volume. That is is not a significant difference that would lead to getting significantly more drunk. Guinness Extra Stout is 6.0 percent ABV and that is more concentrated, but that is not comparing apples to apples.
I like your show, and I like Murphy's Irish Stout.
I'd have to save after having both back to back, I prefer Murphys. It seems less bitter and more flavorful than Guinness. However I will say these two stouts were tried from the draught cans and not on tap. We can only get Guinness on tap here. For what it is Murphys does it better it seems. Its hard to beat a real draught stout so that is where the real challenge lies. Thanks for the review.
I love stout's and this takes guiness for me. I love both but if I had to choose I would pick Murphy's. I like the head alot more on the Murphy's the taste is really close to Guiness but I actually like the light body, or as some people have said it's a tad watery. To me that's not really a bad thing. It gives it a easier drinkability and less filling so you can drink more. Who doesn't like that !
Hi, I'm James Knott, and I'm not wearing any pants. CLASSIC!
By definition, stout is beer. It has barley, hops, water and yeast. Sorry we couldn't move the show to Ireland. It's obvious that you're proud of your local drinking culture.
Nice points in this review. I just picked up a 4 pk. This beer tastes so good, but I can't drink them back to back. Its so bold. Doesn't get ya drunk, costs almost $10 for 4 pints. Meh, something different.
Coming from an Irishman myself (Cork of course) or in other words the real capital!! I couldn't highly enough recommend Beamish as being the best stout in Ireland simply due to its lighter and more creamy flavour with Murphys coming second and Guinness in third place.
Cmon cork.
I’m from Cork but it’s not the capital lol
Very similar to Guinness Draught, but with more of a beer taste that sticks to the palate, a taste that's really down played in Guinness draught
I've been drinking Murphy's Irish Stout since 5 AM this morning. it is my favorite stout. and its like dude said........you could drink this anytime of the day. they fucking rule.
I just got Murphy's Imported stout draught .One say it was pasteurized,And the other one wasn't pasteurized.weird.So I got the unpasteurized one.It taste very good.Next time, I will buy the pasteurized murphy's stout,And see what's the difference.
@Steadno I had that same feeling. Of course everything starts to taste watery when you are regularly drinking imperial stouts and barleywines.
I like the other imported stout better.I just let it warm up,And you can really taste the dark malts.It doesn't taste watered down the unpasteurized one.
I'll keep that in mind for future shoots.
Thanks for the video! I like Murphy's Irish Stout, enjoyed it just today and prefer it over Belhaven Black Scottish Stout.
@2jmilligan Not sure, but it's owned by Heineken.
Guiness was a bit thicker and more flavorful a few years back...seems to be watered down a bit recently. Same goes for Newcastle. What do you guys think?
I didn't realize that there were two different versions. Let me know the results.
This is my favorite beer. $6.50 in new hampshire for a 4 pack of pints. I love this stuff man.
Drinking one right now, pretty good, but I agree that it could have a little more body to it. Taste's nice
Man, go to a proper Irish pub, get a a normal crafted Murphy's and taste. Whenever I am in Ireland or in my local Irish pub in Rotterdam, Holland I love it. Amazing Stout! I'll prefer it over Guinness both back in Rotterdam and when I'am over in Ireland.
@AgileHProductions done it, i prefer murphys, more pronounced coffee falvours, tho guiness is generally a bit creamier, especially in the cask variety
its alot cheaper than guiness in asda aswell, and agreed smooth very smooth, but couldnt really pick up on the base flavours that well
Yeah. I'm a big fan of stouts and porters. A 4 pack of guinness goes for about $1 more than murphy's, and the cans are only 14 ounces. Something about murphy's just keeps me coming back as opposed to guinness. I wish i could find Beamish!
I think Guinness is a tad better. I dont know if I could tell the difference blindfolded. I do have both of them in the fridge, may have to try that. I think Youngs Double Chocolate is way better. have you tried that?
@concretedemon777 Make sure you try Young's Double Chocolate Stout too. That should be high on your list if you like Murphy's.
@HK83IE I think Young's is probably a step up from Murphy's. A step up in price too right?
I really love this one, 4 pack is reasonably priced and it deliverers a smooth thick amazing taste. I enjoy Guinness and this is right up there with that.
@fergal70 What's wrong with how we poured it? How do you recommend pouring it?
i've tried it a few times and i noticed a SLIGHT background sourness when to compare it to guinness
if you cant get it, let me know I will send you some. I think you guys will like it.
I would have to go with Murphy's Irish Stout over Guinness for a Dry Stout style beer. I don't know what it is but it so good and easy to drink. I've had both companies beers and I have to say the Guinness was a bit thinner, but the Murphy's has more of the aroma Charcter with Coffee and Chocolate which I love. I'm to point I buy a keg of Murphy's because of the nice creamy head. Overall both beer will be identical blind folded. Guinness just knew how to market their product in 1935 which cause them to book like crazy. In a way they are the Macallan of Beer. I'm not saying Guinness is bad it's just that Murphy's is an underdog and is better priced.
That's a cool list. I've never heard of Porterhouse. Is that an Irish brewery?
@AgileHProductions Yea i know what you mean. I want to take the challenge but at the same time i know theres not gonna be much of a difference. Over all I would still pick Guiness maybe for nostalgic of just for taste.
Haven't had the Young's Double Chocolate, but it sounds like something to add to the list.
@Chad9976 Can you still buy Beamish? One of my friends thought it was no longer available.
Murphey's Irish Stout has a cyborg samurai commercial. This is now my favourite beer.
It's only taken three years, but I think they are starting to get over it.
@dunneryak Sounds like a great idea. Who is buying the plane ticket?
what's that ball do does it make the head of the beer for fluffy and make it last longer ?? and i think this a a kind of beer that you come home from works tired or stressed maybe eat it with dinner to.
@cv05c We should try to review Guinness soon to compare, but I've been more excited about imperial stouts these days - especially Samuel Smith's - which we have a review to post soon. However, Samuel Adam's Imperial Stout is growing on me even though it's much boozier.
can i mix the guinness and the murphys stout? with if magic happens?
@fairhillnorrie Fun fact - we planned to review Beamish instead of Murphy's for this episode, but when Hayes the cameraman went to the store he discovered Beamish was no longer available in good old Ohio, USA. Didn't Murphy's buy Beamish or something like that?
@plainoldstickfight I would love to a back-to-back blind taste test of these two stouts. Maybe a future episode?!?
@gohabsgo88 Not sure about that one. Anyone else out there know?
@Deathblooms8788 At some point I want to do a blind taste test with this and Murphy's.
@XtianFreak I go back and forth on Guinness. Sometimes I love it and other times I'm not so crazy about it.
Trust me. No beer ever gets wasted at the Better Beer Authority studio. These are some very thirsty guys.
You think this is bold? You should work your way up to some Imperial Stouts. Those are really bold. ...and tasty. One of my favorite styles.
fine review. fine beer. But i prefer a sweeter beer such as youngs double chocolate or even guiness. too bitter style for me.
@gohabsgo88 i would prefer the guiness, but i agree with you that there's a significant difference between murphy and guiness.
I love the fact that you did your own blind taste test.
I'd love to try them side by side sometime.
I love Murphys! I love most stouts, but i'd say Murphys is my favorite! + It's cheaper than Guinness as well. (not for one minute saying i don't like Guinness, but I do love Murphys.)
The pasteurized one,Has to be served cold,I can taste the dark malts on the medium side.
@MrGregPuckett I'll have to look next time I'm at the store. I've heard of it, but I've never looked for it.
@guinnessproduction Which Guinness do you think we should review first?
When it comes to mass produced stouts, I would take Guinness over this any day of the week. Both of these beers are very "one note". There is no subtlety; the flavor you get when the beer first hits your tung, is the same flavor you get when you swallow. However, with Guinness the one flavor you get is much richer, and deeper. I also think Guinness has a better head.
Murphy's yes
@Trotters222 I didn't realize that beers were divided into young and old drinkers. Are there other beers that you think are for more experienced drinkers?
Excellent beer review!!! I would rate it A+.
Thanks
Joe
@surguck He should. He gets tons of fan mail from potential Russian brides who love his beer opinions.
Are you paying those in beer to help you out every show?
Background song please!!!
can u get this in new jersey? like at a liquor store
@AgileHProductions true that
Did you try to make it stronger or did it just end up that way?
Give us some tips.
@ThePGeraFuckingSucks This is a little bit different, but you might also like Okocim Porter if you like Young's. I thought that beer was awesome.
@AgileHProductions Oddly enough i've never tried that, you would think it would be an obvious step, due to the creaminess.
Do you have any other stouts that you like?
I like your reviews, but I think you could learn by looking at others reviews too. I don't mean to rip off the style of other reviews, but look at the factors they consider when rating a beer.
BTW i drink this everyday. in my opinion, guinness is MUCH thinner than murphy's. i drink 8 pints of murphy's a day. i agree with the guy 2nd to left. anytime of the day. low alcohol, high drinkability.
I've been watching you guys for along time and i just realized this now..Scott looks like the guy from grandma's boy lol..love the show guys
I can find Murphy's here in Hong Kong!
who supplys this in america? budweiser? or millerlite?
@mrphmcpat Do they sell outside of Wisconsin? I've never seen it in Ohio. I'd love to try their Imperial Stout.
Who else screamed when they poured the beers?
