Murtagh Stout by Shakespeare Tavern Brewery is a captivating Irish-style stout that showcases the art of traditional brewing. This rich and complex beer boasts a striking pitch-black color, topped with a dense and creamy tan head that leaves a beautiful lacing as it dissipates.

These intricate aromas create a depth and complexity that entices the senses. On the palate, Murtagh Stout delivers a full-bodied and velvety mouthfeel, with bold flavors of roasted coffee and bitter chocolate taking center stage. Underlying notes of cocoa powder, molasses, and a touch of licorice provide a delightful balance, while a subtle sweetness helps to temper the bitterness, resulting in an indulgent and satisfying drinking experience.
