hopIQ take
Minoh Stout if you want richness and warmth,
Murphy's Irish Stout if you want restraint and sessionability.
Both clock in at identical bitterness (35 IBU), but Minoh's 5.5% ABV carries noticeably more body and roasted character—it feels substantial in your mouth. Murphy's leanness at 4% ABV makes it the easier repeat pour, the kind of stout you can settle into without fatigue.

Tasting notes
Minoh Stout
Minoh hits you with genuine chocolate and espresso right away—not subtle, not thin. There's a creaminess from the higher alcohol that softens the roast without making it boozy or hot. The finish is dry but lingers, with that burnt-toast undertone that makes you want another sip to chase it. This is a stout that demands attention.
Murphy's Irish Stout
Murphy's feels precise, almost minimalist for a stout. The roast is there but gentler—more cocoa powder than cocoa nib. It's smooth in a way that feels deliberate, not accidental; the lower ABV keeps it light on your palate and lets you taste the craft rather than the strength. This is the stout you order when you want flavor without commitment.
