The Red King
The North Brewery

 

Shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice dark black hue with a one finger mocha head that fades to leave a thin blanket and light halo.

S - Aromas of light curry spices, chocolate, faint roast malts. Really interesting. Nice light chocolate.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, nice light curry spice, faint bitter acrid roast. The chocolate is very faint with a light metallic bite.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, faintly creamy but still a bit sharp.

O - Overall this beer was rather underwhelming. Compared to the other king beers it was rather weak and the curry didn't translate super well. The low point of the King set.

Serving type: bottle

Thanks to rudzud.

Dark fluffy fizzy head, fades fairly quickly, decent lacing, dark thick pitch black.

Nose more dark thick roasty malts, big curry spices, an ok curry, spicy, little creamy roast, little dark choc.

Taste bitter roasty, little fluffy nougat and caramel dark choc, then big bitter roast, earthy bitter char, with big spicy curry, cayenne like spices, curry powder. Weird metallic flavor and spicy tannic thing. Finish dry bitter and spicy, curry and roasty fluffy nougat malt lingering.

Mouth is fuller rich bod, decent carb, hot spicy curry.
