Old Monk Beer: Nearing Perfection

Those folks at Mohan Meakin can do no wrong

This beer was probably the only beer which totally knocked the fuck out of me in one and a half bottles. Among the strongest and easiest to drink I have had in a long time. While a Canon 10,000 and Knock outdoes OMB in terms of pure kick, but this beer is really yum as well. A fine fine brew from those master-class craftsmen at Mohan Meakin.

The first question someone asks "Beer mein rum hai"? and yes that bothered me as well, as it is difficult to imagine normal people do such funny stuff after one beer that I saw some doing.

Even the worst local Ghaziabadi pizza tasted like wood-fired pizza perfection from Italy. It takes the bladder of a well-beered man to handle two of these.

The taste was mildly fruity and raisin-ish. The carbonation was just perfect and the sweetiness carries on till the finish and the overall mouth-feel. The sugary yeasty edge gives it easy drinkability, which is rather uncommon in Indian strong beers. Don't be surprised if you wolf it down in quick and large gulps.

Among the better beers I have had in a long long time. This one will make you believe that Himesh's nasal twang is the next level of human vocal evolution. Cheers!
