In comparison to its more bitter and heavier chiefcompetitors, the underdog Murphy's is a lighter and sweeter dry stout. Its flavour is evocative of caramel and malt, and is described as "a distant relative of chocolate milk". The resemblance to milk extends beyond flavour to texture; Murphy's is free from any hint of carbonation, and is delivered "black as strong cappuccino" with an inch of foam – "the head" – on top. The head, in particular, is lauded for its remarkably thick andcreamy nature and its "spoonable" density.

This crystal clear, pale yellow beer has little head on it. The taste can be described as quite sweet with a hint of fruit punchand banana, which is ironic considering it is a purelymalt beverage. With its tight carbonation, there is also hop bitterness and a slight grain dryness towards the end. Now, with Sub Zero as the world’s coldest-ever draught beer, served at a chilly minus 2.5ºC. Watchingit being served is worth the price alone.
