Better than Guinness???

Has anyone tried this Murphey's Stout? http://starbrandimports.com/press/images/Murphy's_Stout_Can.jpg
I picked up a 4 pack yesterday, along with 3 4-packs of Guinness. I tried this first last night, and the my Guinness. And to be honest with you, I prefer the Guinness still. The Murphy's is okay, has a good black color to it, but the taste isn't the same as Guinness, and the froth doesn't build as well when settling. I think it's just decent knock off of good ol' Guinness. Oh well. Got plenty of stout, I'm set for the rest of the night. Drink up buddy!!!!!! http://www.stack.myby.co.uk/smile_files/drink.gif
