Commercial Description:
The Humidor Series is a rotating offering of Cigar City Brewing beer aged on cedar. We change the offering for every release so that more of our beers get to luxuriate in cigar box cedar. <P> Cedar has a more subtle effect on beer than more traditional woods like oak. But, we think that once you taste it you’ll agree that cedar deserves a place along side oak in the brewer’s wood-aging toolbox. Humidor series beers will vary due to style, but are always a good option for pairing with a fine cigar.

Bomber bottle from the brewery: Pours a thick black with a thin brown head. Malty aroma is smoky with hints of dark chocolate, cedar and some peppery spices. Has a thicky creamy mouthfeel with a flavorful tone of dark chocolate, caramel and a mild spiciness in the finish. Very well balanced and an excellent sipping beer.

Bottle courtesy of ericandersnayv. Pitch black pour. Lovely appearance. Aroma is of large cedar with sweet spice and the candles in my 3rd grade teacher’s classroom. Also some black pepper scent. Taste has spicy pepper with cedar upfront that immediately turns to rich chocolate and coffee. This is coating my lungs. Wow very good. Finishes spicy and flavored. Definitely one of my favorite CC beers to date.

thanks to jdubfl for sharing this! I’ve been anticipating this one. Cedar, wood, chocolate with coffee notes on the nose. Pours black with little to no head. Rich dark malts, dark fruits with bitter chocolate and black coffee notes with spicy cedar and wood flavors. Excellent!
