It went down smooth, quick & easy. The swill was not bad, and the whole thing was a very good (yet typical tasting) malt liquor. Definitely a good drink... overall rating of 8/10 swills. Thanks out to Tiger Tai & D. Hale for a couple of the variants! OLD REVIEWS: *Quote:* 40x40Vision I was recently told that during my last encounter with the king cobra that I was sleeping under my cousin's truck when he found me and that i ran off and pissed on a girls house. Well I don't have any fukcing clue if its true.. I actually was able to get down two forty's that night. Hell yA. Hell i don't care. All i know is that I love the forty.. Just listening to some george thoroughgood and drinking another King Cobra. I recomend the cobra to everyone.. to get drunk off a 1.29 dollars now thats american freedom at its best. AK40seven My first impression of this was Budweiser on steroids! but as time went on I grew to accept this a much different brew. True that it had same overall taste only with a much more malty punch and higher %, but there were also subtle flavors involved that gave it a more robust taste. Nonetheless I really didn't get motivated to gulp this one down like most malt liquors, the best quality was the shape of the bottle (long neck small mouth) that allows one to eat greasy foods with complete confidence because of the excellent grip. I poured the last inch or so into my pan of sizzling chicken meat destined for my soft tacos because it was generally no longer inspiring enought to hold my attention. 6/10 for the King Cobra, its bottle is better than its bite! Alex0nly I was down in East LA last saturday when I went to a show there. Me and three guys I met outside all wanted to buy some brew so we went walking down for 15min looking for one down the street. We found one and they recommended me getting a King Cobra instead of what I usually get so I did. After we all got our brew which was mainly King Cobra's we went down to these darken train tracks and drank in there on a couch we found lying there. It was night and we decided to head back and after drinking a lot of them we decided to head back. Two of us (including me) fell walking back to the gig and people stared including this whore. I remember it had a good taste and went down good but I dont think its something I'll buy on a regular basis, 7.5 out of 10 swills. beerstud Thanks to King Cobra I am happily divorced. First because I got married while I was drunk from drinking 2 of those shits and then because my ex-wife left me when I accidentally mistook her for a baseball and I accidentally mistook the bottle for a bat. Shit like that happens when you are under the influence of King Cobra. I rate it 9 out of 10 just because it makes you hallucinate. BrainDamage702 drank this shit while playin smash bros on the gamecube,this shit right here really aint that pleasant to drink, the swill is straight putrid, gave me a good buzz tho, i give it a 6 outta 10 Buzzcore Wow, who would of ever thought that this tastes exactly like a stronger version of Budweiser? There's no need to ever drink Bud again, when King Cobra is just $1.40 for a 40oz'er.........drink up! DolbyZero So, I reintroduced myself to King Cobra tonight. I havent had it in years due to the fact that I would grab "da billy D" before grabbing most malts, but I realized what I was missing. What a good malt, it isnt as rich as most malts and almost without an aftertaste. It was str8 outta the freezer and i got half down before the condensation started beading up on the bottle. 9-10 swills. dollazz DAM, I HAVEN'T HAD A KING COBRA IN ROUGHLY 7 YEARS. I WAS AT THE STORE TODAY PICKING UP SOME PRIVATE STOCK AND CAMO, AND SAID FUCK IT, LEMME GRAB SOME KC, EASILY ONE OF THE BEST MALTS IVE EVER TASTED. doublej708 classic. i think just about everybody who can get their hands on a 40 at any age, usually young at first, has had a king cobra. i know i started my daze of swillin with king cobras and OE's. the price cant be beat. the taste is not bad. reminds me of a domestic. and it get does the job in the buzz department. a 40 for all!!!!! Drastic Mezures This started out as everything I don't look for in a 40 - wide mouth, flat taste and Anheuser-Busch, plus the guy at the store put it in a black plastic bag instead of a brown paper bag. Well, I turned a bad stiuation into a good one and put the wide mouth to use. Once I got going with it, this snake in the grass pounced up on me and after hero timing it I was buzzin'. Even though it lacked taste, it wasn't as bad as Hurricane and was strong enough to get the job done. If there's nothing else good around I'll settle for this, otherwise I wont be having the cobra very much. drunkenbird611 man im sorry to do this,but it seems like you guys actually like king cobra,sorry dudes thats some weak shit,walmart used to be a 3 minute walk from my old house,me and my friend brandon walked down there one night,i finished the whole 40 by the time i got to walmart and i didn't feel shit,i was so pissed off,then i drank a hurricane 40 and still i was woundering if they even had a %,cause i know i went to bed pissed and not one bit drunk that night.......both a 1 out of 10,not to mention even my girlfriend said they were weak,come on she can bearly handle 3/4 a 40 much less a whole one and say its weak eWoLThEFuZzY the ol..snake bite is not to shabby..its from anhiser bucsh..but who cares..the shit can get your ass fucked up after a couple..with the aide of whiskey james if making you have to piss a few times is sign of good malt, i guess the time i drank 3 cobras and pissed all over bitches bed after i fucked her is good sign? ok im out to store to buy cobras before they stop sellin in 15 minutes... Fat John I wish I coulda picked up some of this shit with the old label.I think the old one looked much better but I can't remember the taste.I tried out the shit with the new label last night.Its an ok malt.Taste isn't half bad.Pretty easy to get this shit down.Swill wasn't too toxic either.The buzz factor was ok although far from amazing but maybe thats due to the fact that i've drank 5 out of the last 6 days.Overall its a pretty decent 40 and i'll give it 7 out of 10 swills. rage60oz Nice and smooth going down, gave me a decent buzz, I didn't really feel like drinking that night, but next thing I knew the entire 40 was gone. You can't beat that. satan165 king cobra is the shit. it seems to be very popular at least in then NW suburbs of chicago in gas stations and other places that dont sell other malts. ive been drinking it since the days of asking motherfuckers to buy us beer outside the liquor store. the swill only amounted to about 1/4" of the bottle i drank it so fast. granted, that swill was nasty but it was ok. sometimes i like a bit of rough swill cause it makes me feel warm all over after i gag, just like a nice bong hit. i give king cobra 10 out of 10 swills; i admit that i havent had that many malts but this is the best of what ive had. Buzz: B, Taste: B+ SwigDa40oz After my OE 800 i had my backup King Cobra wish is a meager 5.9% alc. Being already buzzed i thought that it may alter my view on this beer. The Cobra was not all that good in my opinion. To me it was just pretty damn ordinary. No high % or unique taste or anything. It was less smooth than OE but it was still a pretty good beer overall. I guess i had it built up to be something more than it was. Needless to say after i got those 80oz of malt inside me i was pretty damn gone. Rating: Taste: 6 Buzz: 6 (I cant really tell because i was already tipsy when i began this one) Swill: 4 Price: 8 Overall: 6.5 Tiger Tai Same as Hurricane except Huricane tastes a little better. Like I said for Hurricane good if you don't have much money since they run about $1.40 really cheap around here. WARNING!!! TOO MUCH KC WILL GIVE THE SHITS!!! I'd give King Cobra 5 of 10 Swills. uk82chaospunk i remember my first encounter with the cobra.....it was last year and we went to a show that got broken up by the cops cuz there was a huge fight...then we went to some guys house to party and we had no beer cuz we werent expecting a party.....at the party i ran into some guy and he was drinking a cobra 40, i said "damn i wish i had a 40" and he just gave it to me and said that he had more...i drank it and thought it sucked....but last night i had a cobra again and i cracked it, smelled it, thought it smelled disgusting, and prepared for some sick ass shit...after my first swill, i thought....man...this tastes so damn good...i dunno why, but it was fucking excellent....even the swill was pretty damn good...i wonder if they changed the recepe or maybe i just love malt liquor more than i did a year ago.....who knows, but i was totally amazed with the brew...i think i'll add this to my steady diet of OE....9.5 out of 10 swills for cobra (not 10 because i didnt really buzz me, just tasted real good) YerPissingMeOff well I rarely go to detroit so I just picked one up, not knowing the percentage, but i liked the label I wanted it for my collection. I already drank 2 St. Ides and an OE HG before I got into that one, so it wasnt even about the buzz no more, I liked the taste of it though

That by which others are measured. That said, it's a pretty decent malt. Its a little sweeter than I prefer, but not terribly so. I can't think of many things to say about King Cobra. It is kind of boring, like most Budweiser products. Nothing wrong with it either: it does intoxicate. 7 out of 10 swills.

Monger Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Had been a while since my last King Cobra encounter, but with it raining today (no racing here in WV), I picked up a 40 to get myself reacquainted... A very nice 40...I've always considered King Corba and Hurricane "corporate cousins" in the A-B family. Surprisingly, upon further consideration, there are some differences.. Much lower carbonation level, much easier to chug down. A little less sweeter than Hurricane (but still on the sweet side). Very smooth taste. Good mouth feel and a pleasing aftertaste. Nice malty aroma. Again, difficult to judge the swill since you can put this stuff away so quickly that its still cold. Certainly not as "entry level" as the big H. Still, at 5.9 ABV, the buzz factor is fleeting - you need some backup to keep it going. Overall, a decent 40 that I will have to continue my relationship with. At 1.39 at my local gas station I certainly rate this as 40 oz "Best Value."

Didnt matter though, because the first sip had this brew bubbling on my tongue fiercely. This shit tastes good, next to no aftertaste with a good malty flavour. Its not right when canadians review low % american malts because we are used to high percent shit. Anyways, i love the small mouth and good taste, minor buzz, lets go with 8/10 for tha KC.

It is definatelt better than it's look-a-like Hurricaine. Although if i'm working in the $1.79 price range I do perfer Country Club. Final word- KC is a good malt and would never be a mistake to swill!

Drank the sonofabitch last night, today I realized I had never reviewed KC though I've had it in 8 or 9 different states by now. KC is raw, real deal malt liquor, basically a standard but awesome malt. Tastes good, and while the swill is a little rough for a 5.9%, 5.9 swill is never that bad. I will say from past experience that KC is foul when it's warm, but that's a problem that pretty much solves itself if you know what's up. This shit also packs a rowdy buzz for a 5.9, def more so than any under-6 malt I've had. This is definitely not Blue Bull. It can fuck you up. The King is awesome and warrants an 8/10 easily. Taste: B Buzz: B+.

Posts: 2677 (01/15/06 12:04 AM) 40oz Vulture Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	King Cobra is such a smooth brew. There is little in the way of skunky smell that emanates from the first crack (not the vile odor of Ballantine) and it continues its smooth journey down your throat. There is a small amount of aftertaste but nothing that should keep potential drinkers away. While this is not as alcoholic as Camo or Evil Eye, King Cobra has its own little whollop that hits a drinker halfway through the bottle. By the time there is swill, the flushed faces and modified states of the drinker should kill the bottle without too much in the way of grimacing or bitter faces. At $1.59 ($1.39 in central Ohio), this is the cheapest and best 40 for its price that one can easily pick up.

I can only find the small mouth around here, but I used to see widemouths everywhere. Anyway, this 40 is very average, not a distinctive taste or a particularyly strong buzz. I like it because it was (perhaps) my first 40, which is the only reason I give it the better than average rating of 6/10 swills.

Smooth almost all the way down. The swill's a little rough. Best dranken very quickly. Overall a decent malt 40. Plus its only $1.49 where i live. cant beat it. 8/10

I used to pound these every day. Smooth crack and the taste is like no other. This stuff deffinately hits the spot after a long day/nite at work, so if you havent tried this before what are you waiting for?! Leaves a pretty decent buzz as well. 8&1/2 swills out of 10.

This has the to be the "light beer" of malt liquors. Doesn't matter if it is ice cold or room temp., no flavor. Well, I take that back...it is sweet as hell in a sugary way. No MALT LIQUOR flavor. Others have compared it to Budweiser, and I must say that Budweiser has at least three times more flavor than this. An ultra-clean nose with almost no smell at all, definintely no skunkiness or anything that would make you think twice about drinking it. For being 6.0% the buzz is decent, but weak if you don't drink it fast. I was really sorry to see the evolution of the label because the current one is a cum shot for some snobby 20 y/o in Manhattan who thinks this is what all the ghetto malt liquor drinkiners will drool over. The first labels are fucking awesome. If you are going to call it King Cobra, and I could be crazy here, why not emphasize that in your label? A 40 is about $1.50 here, or get two 24 cans for $1.98. I'm sorry, but this shit sucks. 3/10 Where's the flavor? I'm really surprised at how much other people like this. Edit: I'm going to raise my rating to 4/10. If you drink King Soulbrah and King Soulbrah alone, you get a little taste and it isn't bad. After you start getting drunk it is really hard to find any flavor in this. Still, fucking $1.98 for 48 ounces, so every once in awhile I go for it. Another Edit: I keep buying this and the more I drink it the more I like it. I guess it is "growing" on me. I'm OK with that. 5/10

My main liquor store carries these at 2 for $3.00, so its definately their cheapest malt, and not at a bad one either. These always go down go down smooth, swill and all... but they always seem to have a lack of that traditional malt flavor for some reason... but theyre still pretty damn good for the price... and you know you'll never get a shitty flat one if you check the born on date, so thats a plus for sure. I gotta give this dirty little slut 7/10 swills for its cheapness, alright taste, and its handy lil' born on date status given to her by A.B.

I would pick Cobra any day. It has that good American dirty taste, like a Budweiser. It's a great malt liquor for cookouts. The buzz is somewhat weak, roughly the same as a Colt 45. Lately, this has been my most frequent purchase, since I'm kind of worn on Private Stock. Pick this joint up, it's only $2 in the fairly expensive DC area, so I'd imagine it'd be cheaper elsewhere and it's a good decent brew that's quintessentially American. 7/10 swills.

The Cobra is a smooth clean tasting malt. It is very cheap and has always been. I dont like Budwieser but King Cobra always comes through for me. I need a minimum of 2 40s to get a nice buzz. At 6.0% its alot lower then the OE and Ides that I drink on the regular. But on most nights I dont want that violent mega buzz that comes with the Ides. When I want to chill I will grab 2 40s of Cobra, drink the first one pretty fast then babysit the second one and relax. What im trying to say is that KC is my kick back and chill 40. Taste 9/10 Buzz 4/10 Overall a solid 8/10

Must be a bottle of malt liquor. This is the first time Ive ever had King Cobra. Which is not so strange, when you consider that Im from Wisconsin, home of Miller Brewing. Growing up, you learned to support the home team by avoiding Anheuser Busch products. But what has brand loyalty to Miller done for me? Ill tell you what: not a god damn thing. So I proudly paid my $1.79 for this 40 oz (Ozzies liquor and deli, Grand Avenue, Melrose Park, IL) and kept it in the garage for a special occasion. It opened with a nice crack, and started going down smooth. Taste is pure malt liquor, perfect for the style: no body, no hops, just a sweet, clean malt liquor taste, with moderate carbonation. Alcohol is 6% and remained hidden throughout the 40; in fact, it only produced a very light buzz, which hit me about 20 minutes after finishing this malt (?). Although I took probably 40 minutes to finish it, this malt stayed pretty cold throughout, which helped to keep the swill tolerable. After finishing, I felt pretty full and bloated, but thats going to happen when you consume 40 ounces of beer. King Cobra is a solid, if unspectacular malt, and one that Id be happy to sample again. 8/10.

It sells for $1.39 here in East TN. I would give this a 8/10 swills. It is smooth and malty going down when cold and turns a little raunchy on the swill when warmer. It's delicious overall. It's also easy to buy as it is common here. 5.9% so the buzz factor is average. I like it occasionally, but OE 800, Blue Bull, Mickey's, and Steel are my reference standards for area malt. Consistent quality as A-B does well.
