Irish stout

Dublin's black beer

Irish stout is a dark, creamy beer style originating in Ireland, characterized by its nearly black color, thick tan head, and roasted barley flavor that gives notes of coffee and chocolate.

Guinness is the defining example, though Murphy's and Beamish also represent the style.

Irish stouts are typically lower in alcohol than other stouts, with a smooth, dry finish: We ordered a round of Irish stout at the pub.
