The Seven Day Beer Challenge # 6: Murphy's Irish Stout

in sevendaybeerchallenge •  7 years ago  (edited)

My alcoholism week is slowly getting to the end. It was our psychology addict, @abigail-dantes, who invited me to take part in this. Since St Patrick's day is just round the corner, I thought I should try an Irish stout and have a photoshoot worthy of the beer's name :P

Sorry, no laprechaun, but I had a smurf. Does it matter that it's blue? :P

Murphy's Irish Stout has been brewed from the iconic Lady’s Well Brewery (Cork) since 1856. The official site (murphys.com) describes it as: "an Irish Dry Stout, Murphy’s is dark in color and medium-bodied. It is silky smooth with toffee & coffee undertones, almost no bitterness, and an irresistible creamy finish."

 At a 4% vol, Murphy's is light and goes down easily.

Did I like it? It was kind of watery. I felt the coffee in it, but it accompanied my spaghetti bolognese with feta cheese quite well.

Am I going to drink it again? I don't think so. It left a stingy bitterness on my tongue.

How much did it cost? 2.2 euros in the supermarket (quite pricey).

Today I shall call for @nikoleondas to take part! We don't see you posting too often, what do you say, my friend?

These are the rules you need to keep in mind

  1. You have to try a new beer every day, for 7 days.
  2. The beer must be something you have never tasted before.
  3. You must put a photo of the beer and write a few words about it.
  4. Nominate someone every day.
  5. If you are a social outcast with no friends to invite you just join the fun. You have every excuse to drink!
  6. Use the tag "#sevendaybeerchallenge" as one of your five tags.

Thank you @abigail-dantes for the nomination!

Thank you for your invitation. I will accept the challenge but give me a few days.
Last days I hadn't had quite time to make posts but I'm going to come back soon with interesting posts and with this beerchallenge.
Με βλέπω αλκοολικό στο τέλος.. ;)

I just thought booze would be a motive to post more often :P

Άσε, άσε. Αλκοολικοί και με μπυροκοιλιά στην παραλία φέτος! Α ρε @trumpman τι μας κάνεις! :P

Stouts and porters are my go-to beers, but I've never had this one before, though it's been recommended to me.

I guess if you're a stout person then you might like it.

Interesting thought. Ever had some product like a beer or a wine, and then promptly forgot about it?
Immortalize it on the blockchain and never forget which ones you liked!

Something like that, it's our legacy for the future generations. My grandchildren may see it one day and say: Oh, fat old grandma used to drink this stuff :P

That is my favorite beer. My only complain is (because I collect beer bottles, check my beer post) that only the red one have a bottle. 😥

Woah! Man, almost 160 beers? Really?!

And that about the bottles is not my fault! I could not find bottles in the supermarket that is supposed to have the greatest variety of beers (curse of living in a small town), they had just cans for some labels. I wanted to have a photo of all seven together for my last day, but they ruined it for me :(

Yeah, I didn't like it when I tried it either. It was too bitter, as you said.

And I didn't finish the can, I had to throw away more than half of it... I guess I'm not a stout person.

Well, many stouts are bitter but usually heavy. It wasn't a particularly good one though.

Like water that burnt your tongue :P

I liked this Post! I accept the challenge @ruth-girl

Cool!
