Oct 29, 2009 Bottle Thanks to my man snoop doggy Douglas88. Pours out a dark brown topped with a sand head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, nuttiness, and rich malts. Taste was more of the roast malts, sweetness, some smoke maybe cigar ash??? Maybe not. A tasty treat right before the BB version.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle I picked up at Capone’s. We have been waiting for Cigar City. Poured a dark chestnut brown with a nice head, faded at a moderate pace. Nose has little malt and hops but a clean fresh smell. First sip is full of roasted brown malt almost stout like hints of caramel and coffee also permeate. Hops finish is just right. Terrifc brown ale.

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle - thanks changeup415. Nice dark leathery brown color with a finger of creamy tan head. Nose of roasted malt, light coffee, and an undeterminable spice that gives it a kind of lively sweetness. A smooth, rich blend of caramel, roasted malt, mocha, and toffee. Maybe even a little hazlenut. Lingering finish is dry and lightly bitter, full of roast and mocha. Well balanced overall. A rich and full flavored brown ale... nice.

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a mahognay brown color, with a huge, frothy, fluffy tan head. Great looking. Smellsd of a mixture of roasted malt, dark fruits, hops, a hint of toffee. The flavor had a lot of sweetness to it, with traces of raisins and dark fruits to go along with the roasted malt and nuts. The finish had traces of hop bitterness and cinnamon combined. Really nice mix of flavors and quite interetsing. Very tasty.

Oct 19, 2009 like the regular brown ale but bigger, fuller and more delicous. I love the bigger palate and the additional chocolate notes. Another great cigar city beer.
