Kalyani Black Label: Flavorsome

I had Kalyani Black Label after a long long time at My Bar in Pahadganj. Those good folks at My Bar, they've also caught on to the 'Beer Tower' Bandwagon. I have a problem with those. While towers do add a visual appeal to your beer evening, but they screw the beer tasting experience for you. The head and the carbonation go waste as they don't come out of the tap. The beer gets more flat as you go down the tower, so you have to compromise on the taste.

Kalyani Black Label comes from the UB stable, so you can be sure of a decently brewed beer. The beer is among the oldest lagers around and comes with a generous 7.8% ABV.

Pours disappointingly, low carbonation, brief head. But a nice mouthful of hopp-ish taste. There's a decent sugary and rice-like quality to the aftertaste. It's a fair beer to have with Indian starters particularly seekh kebabs. You can gulp down two and not feel a thing till sometime afterwards when a comforting buzz sets in. Enjoy it with something spicy and drink it fast, it looses carbonation very quickly. Cheers!
