Alley Kat / Sherbrooke Heatseeker Coconut Curry Porter

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Bottle: Poured a medium clear black color ale with a large soft brown color ale with good retention and some lacing. Aroma is a weird mix between some coconut, light curry and some roasted malt. Taste is dominated by a well balance mix between some curry spices mix some coconut and some roasted malt – tis mix should not technically work but surprisingly generate some great results. Body is a bit with good carbonation and no alcohol was detectable. I am not sure I would try this one on a regular basis but a very interesting experiment that I would like to have again.

Not one single conceivable reason for this beer to exist. Beer pored a surprisingly dark brown with a noisy short lived crown only a small bubble ring remains after 5 seconds. Smells like taco’s. Why does it smell like taco’s? aroma is luckily very mild and not too much to it thank gawd. I’m not enjoying the taconess of the smell. First sip is strangely drinkable with a very earthy flavor. Mouth feel is very thin and the carbonation is through the roof. The taco aroma is starting to turn into curry now the longer I drink. I can only seem to pick out the coconut in the finish and that is very faint. Mostly just a dark bitter flavour with faint hints of coconut and curry. Uggg…. Spoke to soon curry is starting to dominate the flavour now when warm. This turned out to be way more drinkable then it should have but still vile. Brew might have been better if the base beer what I think was a dunkle of some kind was of higher quality. This beer is shit.

Why? oooohh why? Interesting idea - but who really wants to drink this of free will?
Poured out the standard thin white lead that sticks to the rim, mahogany brew, minimal silty lacing. K, this starts out ok for aroma as the aroma is quite mild and comes across as acceptable but this changes as it warms - no surprise there. Sweet, curry, coconuts (as per the description), lame beer added. The taste is of soft but obvious flavoured curry and coconut, comes across dry and has some heat. The coconut part and all that is ok and mild enough to enjoy but I don't know what cheap ass beer they used. The mouthfeel is pretty good considering - weird dryness and finishes forgettable. A decent experimental beer as I still don't find this gross at all but do they really expect people to purchase this multiple times?
