Maduro

Maduro Brown Ale
Cigar City
5.5% ABV

12 oz poured into a pint.

Rust brown hued with good clarity and a small tan head with sub par retention. Sweet and malty, but very moderately so. Good on the specialty malt character: I can definitely smell chocolate.

Nutty and chocolaty with a slightly roasted profile. Finishes clean and dry with a charred aftertaste. I quite like it. The carbonation is not too high; the body rather watery.

Overall, I can see myself drinking this beer every once in a while if it were available to me. The local favorite Bender does an equally good job though, if not better.

3.5, 3.5, 4, 3, 3.5
