Old Monk 10000

Brewed by Mohan Meakin Breweries
Style: Malt Liquor
Ghaziabad, India

shared the first time with the Houston BA’s...they seemed to get a laugh from it ... has a pretty smooth mouthfeel.... tobacco flavours ... like rogue chipolte .... good for a malt liquour!

Had this one bottled, thanks Slothgar! Clear, medium yellow pour with a foamy, thin white head, a faint agave and canned corn nose, and a very, very unusual taste. Sickly sweet, woody, and unpleasant, but with a cool bottle design! So that’s something. It’s a nice thing Dan started out WinTour 3 on such a low note, it could only get better from here.

Perhaps not as bad as the ratings imply. A couple of terms .. musty, pungent ... are maybe a little accurate for it does have a dry taste that is unusual. But considering I’ve never had a beer from India before, I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt. Aroma is strong and malty, flavor hot with alcohol... I may rerate this after enjoying the whole bottle, but upon first taste, it’s not a drain pour.

Bottle bought in Delhi. Pale yellow to light golden in colour. Clear. Quickly diminishing small head.Fruits, vegetable, grains in the aroma. Flavour of fruits, alcohol and wet vegetable. Thin bodied. Dry. Sweetish and fruity in the and with a hard alcohol touch.

22oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain/cereal, grape, musty. Taste is grain/cereal, medicinal/vinegar, grape-fruit, alcohol, perfumy. Helps me appreciate most of the lesser beers I had in China. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.

yellow body with a white head.light grain aroma.basically tastes like a malt liquor with a slight fruit twist.discusting.

Pours a three finger white head that vanishes leaving no lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Maybe a sweet nose. Flavor is sweet but hops are trying to balance, menthol in the background. $3.45 for a 650ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.
