TOPIC:

Some objective analysis:
Beamish: Most people thought this was Guinness. 3 out of 9 got it right.

Guinness: A spread of answers. 3 out of 9 correct and the same number thought it was Murphy's.

Murphy's: O'Hara's was the most popular answer, with 4 saying it was this. 3 got it right.

O'Hara's: Again 3 each getting it right and thinking it was Murphy's.

The three right answers were [b:sya46dws]not[/b:sya46dws] from the same three people each time, btw.

Now, let us never speak of this again.

so nobody got all 4 correct?

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO GOT WHAT RIGHT OR WRONG, OK?!

But yes, somebody did.

So this finally proves that O'Neills have one big barrel of ACME Stout, with four taps coming from it?

Two, I think. I think most participants will probably agree that there are two bland stouts (Beamish and Guinness) and two flavoursome stouts (Murphy's and O'Hara's), and that picking between them is the hard bit.

As someone who hates Beamish, I was quite gratified that so many of the Beamish-lovers couldn't pick out that alleged distinctive bitterness.

I'm also gratified to finally learn, for sure, that draught Murphy's tastes better than draught O'Hara's. We should write to Carlow and tell them to stop damaging their excellect stout. (Or put more chocolate malt in it. It's all good.)

Not a chance. O Hara's and Murhpy's stood out a mile.

Beamish and Guinness are interchangable as far as I can tell.
