Old Monk 10000

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

330ml bottle. Pours clear golden yellow, thin white bubbly head. Aroma of skunk, corn, and band-aids. Sweet malt flavors, light hop flavor. Light bodied. not good.

Clear golden yellow, moderate to small head with meh lacing and retention. Aroma is grain, glue, sweet pale malts. Flavor is the same, light bitterness. Light bodied, alcohol hidden well.

This is a pungent and strongly flavoured, but enjoyable malt-liquor type. It is dark, slightly orangish yellow with a medium white head that immediately dissipates to a thing foamy ring. The aroma is pungent strongly fruity with musky grain, alcohol notes, and an unusual vegetable quality and a hint of pine. The taste is similarly pungent, very fruity with that same unusual vegetable quality that I recognize but can’t quite place and some grain and a hint of pine. It has a full-bodied, warm, faintly meaty, spicy alcoholic quality similar to something like Steel Reserve but much more smooth, pleasant, and easy to drink. It goes pretty well with Indian food and is fairly enjoyable with a rather unique taste.

Pours a tyical pale lager golden with average carbonation and a quickly dissapearing head. Corny skunk aroma with a little bit of a bubble gum aspect. Flavor is surprinsingly refreshing for a malt liquor. Overall, this beer didn’t seem as bad as the comments it was getting. I won’t buy another bit I didn’t pour it down the drain either.

Bottle. Ughhh it burns. This beer is just bad. It smells a bit spicy, tastes spicy, maybe curry powder? Horrible.

(Bottle, Mfg 07/07, Batch 4318) Pours a clear yellow body with an average white head. Aroma of caramel, cocoa powder, and corn. Flavor of caramel, corn, and corn syrup with a somewhat metallic finish.

Noogfest White head over a clear medium yellow body. Cheap corn aroma and typical cheap beer taste. Next.

Aroma of light malt, hint of caramel. Brassy gold color with a white head that left quickly. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation that has a bite. The flavor is sort of caramel malt, in a light way. No particular hop until a little at the finish. The alcohol is noticeable; burns the tongue. I’d say this is indeed a malt liquor, and better than many produced by the American macro brewers.
