King Cobra And Curry: A Perfect Partner

King Cobra may be a name that you are not familiar with.  I recently stumbled across this very hard to find double fermented Indian premium beer and thought that I would share my experience with my fellow curry lovers.

Normally my perfect partner for Indian food would be a standard pint/bottle of Cobra or maybe even a bottle of Kingfisher, but on this night I indulged on something quite unique to accompany my take-out meal.

King Cobra is a double fermented pilsner style lager and comes housed in a fantastic looking large 750ml bottle.

There is something almost regal about a beer bottle that comes in a champagne style bottle complete with a cork.  It was quite exciting to ‘pop’ the cork in the knowledge that my take out Indian feast was ready to be eaten.

Its strong 8% alcoholic content is not for the faint hearted.  I was pleasantly surprised by the beers smooth and not very gassy taste.  This cloudy looking beer was a perfect accompaniment to my take out curry.  Its malty flavour tamed my spices well and made it far too easy to drink.

Noble, King Cobra and his curry

Its park-bench strength means that I would advise against drinking it too fast – always remember to savour the flavour!

I certainly don’t think that I qualify to be a beer reviewer but this beer comes with a high recommendation from me.

If you are looking to try a beer at home thats a little bit different with your curry - King Cobra might just be the beer for you!
