Can definitely taste the curry in it. Gives me a nice zing on my tongue. Would love to have this with some spicy food. Chocolate, caramel, toast, roasty, smoke

Oh shit! Took a few sips but "oh what a feelin". I’m a true asshole of whom has forgotten the lad who gave me this elixir. Cold coffee and jalapenos man. Oooooahhh! I like this stout looking specimen simply because of it’s color. But, BAMN!

On tap at pony bar with James. This beer is phenomenal! Super unique... Roasty lactic stout, pine, hot curry cooled by those mint crumbs you see at Indian restaurants near the host counter. Love it.

I love this beer! Everything comes together. The curry and coconut are a beautiful combination. The spice at the end is brilliant. Pair this with some Thai food and it’s heaven.

Absolutely one of my favorite beers- huge toasted coconut aroma, smells spicy like the curry. Favor is complex, evolving, deep, through the roof intense- spicy! All the complexity of curry, coconut, spicy that moves down the throat- the warmer it gets the more it opens up. Top top notch. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This beer gets more complex with every sip. There’s a lot going on here! Smell is all at once roasty, sweet, tangy, & spicy. The taste is very unique. Curry right away, with coconut, lime, and spices. The cayenne and cumin really stick with you. It’s not unpleasant, just unusual. Served in a snifter, this beer really brings out the aroma. I can’t wait to pick up another bottle and drink it with my favorite panang curry. Really a fantastically unique experience!

Split a 22oz bottle 3 ways. Poured a dark brown color with a medium-tan head. Aroma was Kaffir lime, coconut, curry, spices. This one was SO enjoyable I can’t freaking believe it. Aroma was like walking into a Thai restaurant and ordering the green and red curry dishes at the same time. The aroma was a wonderful, pungent one that made me really hesitant for what was coming next - could the flavor be any good?

Well damn, the flavor wasn’t quite as good as the aroma, but it was damn close - similar notes hit my tongue, startling me - this was great.

Thanks for this beer Sev! Pours a very dark brown colour with a lacy tan head. Amazing laksa curry aroma with coconut, lime, ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper characters. Lovely balance between curry spices and chocolate malt. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Fantastic!

Bottle from Brusin’ Ales. Pours black with a half inch of khaki foam. Big coconut and lime notes on the nose. The coconut and lime notes complement the malty notes on the tongue. Finishes with heat and flavor of the cayenne. The heat builds up if you drink it too quickly. It’s like an Indian restaurant in a beer. Fantastic!

I sit down for a beer and am welcomed to an Indian dinner. I love Indian food and I have to say I love drinking it too. Smells like coconut curry spice. Nice rich flavors along side the Indian spices. Alex you are th wizard of export stouts and I wish you the best at ballast point!!
