Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale

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

This smells exactly like an oatmeal raisin cookie. The smell is amazingly accurate. The flavor is a bit of a let down. The base beer is a little thin and the spice comes across a little too much in the flavor, but wow what a great smelling beer.

Growler from the taproom. Pours a deep, clear ruby with a thick yellow head that has awesome retention and lacing. Aroma is cherry Dr. Pepper, some brown sugar oatmeal. Can’t get raisins out of it. Taste is very light-bodied, easy to drink. Some black cherry soda. Meh.

Ah my favorite cookie transformed into liquid form. Damn this is a good beer. Pours a nice dark reddish brown. Smells of wonderful spices and raisins. Tastes just like its cookie counterpart cinnamon, raisins, bits of oat, brown sugar.

Growler. Pours light brown, with reddish highlights, and a small head and lacing. Nose is big on cinnamon, oats, raisin, etc. Flavor is the same. Yes, it smells and tastes like an oatmeal raisin cookie, with a nice dash of cinnamon to boot. Very easy drinking and yummy.

Holy liquid cookie batman!!! Aroma has the oatmeal, spice and raisin. Floral hops are nice. Flavor is sweet and tastes so much like a cookie. Insane. Cinnamon, raisin, oats, brown sugar...hell yes!

Draft sample at Cigar City. Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate roasted oatmeal, sweet spice and small coffee aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Solid roasted oatmeal cookie sweet flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate duration. Standout complex brew.

From a really cool looking growler shared by JCB. What can I say that hasn’t been said, it smells and tastes like an oatmeal raisin cookie. A great concept beer.
