Once the world’s largest diaond and now part of the Crown jewels, the Koh-i-noor was reputed to bring bad luck to any male who owned or wore it, but good luck to any woman who did. Brewed with organic pale and caramel-60, with chocolate, black and biscuit malts, flaked rye and black cardamom for a rich and smoky flavor, and just a touch of orange. Bittered with centennial and finished with Cascade.

Draft. Dark amber beer with a dark cream colored head. Light spice and rich malt aroma. Spice, chocolate, and rich malt flavor. Medium bodied. Malt, spice, and light chocolate notes linger.

Muddy brown. Aroma is full of cardamom with chocolate, cocoa. It almost comes across as chile. Chocolate and cardamom balancing off, hint of acidity late and lots of spiciness. Nice beer, a little simple but a good combo.
