Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale

Brewed by Cigar City Brewing
Style: Brown Ale
Tampa, Florida USA

Skyview Tasting 2.5. Courtesy of Skyview. Dark brown color with no head. Nutty and chocolatey aroma. Caramel malt, nutty and vanilla taste. Slightly dry finish. Pretty solid.

Tasting GABF. red brown with white head. Tobacco, nuts, and earthy/ grass hops are aromatic notes. Flavor is caramel and coffee. Also hop bite that balances.

Picked up a 32-oz pharmaceutical shaped growler from Cigar City brewery in Tampa - filled by Joey R, himself. Pours a clear dark amber brown colored brew with an average sized off-white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of roasted nuts, some toasted dark malt, a hint of chocolate and oatmeal. Taste is medium bodied, some tart dark chocolate and grain malt flavors with a hint of smoke and roasted nuts. Finish is slightly dry with a smooth texture, and a roasted dry nutty aftertaste. Not as sweet as the Bolita brown ale, but still smooth. I agree with the description, a well compliment to my favorite Macanudo milds.

Bottle. Amber brown caramel pour, little carbonation with a pleasant nutty and malt aroma. Flavor was chestnuts, smoky malts but surprisingly light and mellow on the finish. I really liked this one and will probably be looking for more of this in the future.

32oz growler. Watered down roasted malt initially on the nose. Some Cocoa Puff cereal. Tootsie Roll. Dried cocoa. An odd basil note as it warms. Light herbal hops. Pours a pretty dark amber/brown with a thin but frothy khaki head. Flavor is very simple. Lightly roasted chocolate malt, tree bark, light cocoa and watery coffee. The palate is watery throughout with a slightly bitter finish. Meh... Thanks Bob!

[Growler] shared by Skyview. Pours a clear ruby-brown with a small soapy tan head. Aroma is smoky and rich, chocolate, oatmeal, pot in there as well. Flavor is thinner than the aroma would suggest. Nice and smoky, chocolate, dry cocoa, and a nice nuttiness.

a nice brown aroma, slightly tart though. Very very rich nutty body with strong oatmeal flavor as well. This would indeed hold up with a Cigar.

on TAP at Redlight! .. chocolate kibble aroma .. . tawny brown with awesome healthy head .. .very very easy to drink, very delicious.. lots of roasty familiar homely flavours, like your favourite jacket you wore when going out to the back of the house on cold days and firing up a jay... light yet hearty, a great bold example, has a nice twist to it. CCB luv!
