It's pretty cool. The brewery makes other strong beers, often with similar over the top names, and I'd recommend them in general and their "Maudite" in particular. On the note of microbrewery naming conventions, a stoner friend of mine once commented that he was only getting Optimo Peach blunt wraps as he felt ridiculous asking for all the various fruity flavors. I get the same feeling with microbrewery beers too often - yeah, pig's ass porter from Harvest Moon is good, but, ****, it makes me feel like a college girl ordering a mixed shot.

Murphy's is good, and I'd second the recommendation for Samuel Smith - their Oatmeal Stout is wonderful. However, stay away from anything the British call "bitters", which is what they call beer that is lightly carbonated, light on the alcohol, and has a uniquely bad taste (watered down guinness?). Besides, with all the wonderful American microbrewery's out there, you can have your cups full exploring those.
