Beer Review – Murphys Draught


Basically one of several Guinness clones available, Murphy’s Draught is a cheap and tasty alternative.

Name: Murphys Draught

Origin: Ireland

Style: Irish Stout (4.0% ABV)

Appearance:  It is a very dark colour, but when held to the light you can see it changes to a ruby red. Creamy, with cascading bubbles that flow down into the glass. If you have seen Guinness you should know what this looks like.

Taste: It starts slightly sweet and is noticeable watery. It finishes bitter with notes of cocoa. The aftertaste lingers on the tongue.

Mouth Feel: Very soft, creamy and incredibly easy drinking. Highly refreshing making it a great session ale.

Final Thoughts (3.0 out of 5): This is really just a cheaper alternative to Guinness.

Rolling green hills and stone walls are a common sight across Irelands country side
