Beer 17-19

Last night we had a very special celebrity guest, Wes. Wes will be joining us very frequently throughout the rest of the year to enjoy the wonder that is beer with us.

Murphy's Irish Stout
Ok so, I enjoyed the Stout. This wasn't a bad stout nor was an excellent one. Matt commented that it was a bit watery. He didn't like that he could actually taste the water. I didn't know what the hell he was talking about, yes it was thin but i tasted no water. It was very non-mealish. I didn't feel full afterward which was good. To the common drinker, most people will compare an Irish stout against a Guinness. Murphy's is a bit less intense, but not without flavor. It seems a bit more earthy, if not nutty. The head is pretty typical of an Irish stout, with the falling head as it is poured thinning out to a thin layer of meringue-like foam as you drink it.
We gave with 3 steins out of 5.

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
It was good...I don't remember why, but it just was. The beer was much thicker than the Murphy's but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Yeah...that shit was good.
I give it, I don't care what anyone else says 4 steins out of 5.

Samuel Smith Imperial Stout
Pretty standard imperial stout that sticks to the tradition of Samuel Smith: accurate yet drinkable. I remember a few times back in college where I put down a few of these in a evening (with other assorted drinks) and felt no ill effects. This is a great priced beer for what it is. Not outstanding, but a great "fancy beer on a budget" choice. 3.5 steins out of 5.
