St Patrick's Day Tasting

McSorely's Black Lager
McSorley's Irish Black Lager is a smooth dark lager with subtle roasted malt and chocolate flavors that come from a special blend of five malts. It is perfectly balanced and finishes clean, crisp and extraordinarily refreshing for a dark beer. It's a great alternative to heavier stouts and porters.

Murphy's Irish Stout
The beer is dark brown, mahongany color. The head is short, but tight foam (very Guinness-like). The floating cap of foam lasted for the entire pint, decent looking lace coats the glass.
Smells of roasted malt, maybe a bit of coffee, but I think the nitro kills alot of the aroma.
The flavor is quite mild, some more roasted malt, slight hints of coffee or cocoa. A little bit of bitterness at the end. Body is quite thin, but the nitro keeps it creamy and smooth

Murphy's Irish Red
Murphy's Red Ale is a top fermented ale first brewed at the Lady Well's Brewery in 1856 and is still brewed today with the traditional brewing methods and recipe.
A clear ale with a rich, amber color and a creamy head. Very crisp and malty with a touch of fruity sweetness and soft body.
