Murphy's - Irish Stout (Ale/Ireland)



Guinness Irish Stout is the most well-known representative of its kind in the world. It can even be said that it has no rival in this regard. However, if there is one rival, it would be Murphy's.
Honestly, between the two beers, my preference is Murphy's. Though it may not be as frequently found as Guinness, it's a beer that I enjoy whenever I come across it.
Compared to Guinness, it is fuller-bodied, slightly less alcoholic, and has a smoother stout taste.
If you like Guinness, I recommend giving Murphy's a try if you can find it.

3 Kafadar - Gece - Irish Stout (Ale/Turkey)



I finally found the night and made it in time for today's "St. Patrick's" day.
In America, "St. Patrick's Day" is a day when a lot of beer is consumed. Of course, these beers are Irish beers, which are more suitable for the events.
@3kafadarbira seems to have released an Irish Stout to coincide with this day.
Making an Irish stout is once again an ambitious attempt. I wasn't sure what kind of beer would come out, but the 3kafadar beer has nailed it beautifully. Starting with the head, the density, taste, finish, it's a true stout. The only thing we could add is that drinking this beer with nitrogen would make it even better, I'm sure the beer would be even more delicious.
In the evening, it went really well with a homemade, makeshift "Corned beef" sandwich that I had prepared as St. Patrick's day food.
To add some flair, I also included a picture of the beer with the Guinness logo. I congratulate the 3kafadar team.

Pablo - Bodrum Stout - Irish Stout (Ale/Turkey)



I am entering the new year with Pablo's dark beer, Bodrum Stout.
Stout beers are one of the beers that I drink hesitantly. I wonder if they have managed to get the taste right before I taste it.
However, Pablo has once again produced a very successful beer. Pablo Stout is as good as those abroad.
Its consistency, taste, and finish are all correct and it is a beautiful beer.
Happy New Year...

Efes - Bomonti Black - Irish Stout (Ale/Turkey)



A beer, Bomonti Black, has been left alone among the major Turkish beer producers' yellow beers. Unlike other dark beers that have been discontinued from the market, Bomonti Black is still available. I think one reason for this is the lack of alternatives, and the other is its easy-drinking nature that doesn't bother others.
Bomonti Black is a stout type of beer. It's not a bad beer, but it's not the first beer I would choose if I want a stout. Maybe if it were put in a nitrogen-infused can, its taste could be better. But to do that, Efes would need to add a different canning method to its production line, which I assume would be expensive and cumbersome. It's also uncertain whether the investment made would pay off.
When I get tired of the yellow beers that dominate almost the entire market, especially during the winter months, Bomonti Black is a good alternative that I can choose.
I also thank @komurlab for accompanying our black beer with charcoal.

Guinness - Extra Stout - Irish Stout (Ale/Ireland)



One of the most gentle-tasting beers in the world, Irish Stout, is known for its color that scares but its softness. Guinness is the most recognized brand of this beer worldwide.
What makes these beers soft and sets them apart from others is that they are carbonated with nitrogen, which creates smaller bubbles in the beer, giving it a creamier taste.
Although Guinness is a well-known brand, it is not necessarily the best Irish Stout. Many people (including Obama) say that the taste of the one poured from a keg in Ireland is better. However, even drinking it at home with nitrogen is still enjoyable. The plastic ball inside the can balances the nitrogen levels, and it was introduced in its current form in 1997, so it is not a very old invention.
