Cigar City Brewing Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale

Cigar City! This is our second venture to the very rare company and it seems to be a good candidate.

This beer has a cloudy, brown/amber look to it. It has a nice film on stir and a light-ish tan head that reoccurs only when stirred vigorously. The nose is of alcohol, brown sugar, roasted barley and very slight touches of dark fruits. The taste was very boring. It had a bitter bit at the end and someone bland overall palate. Equally disappointing was the texture that was quite thin, boring and had no flow to it.

This beer rather bored me. I like brown ales with food, that may be why I didn't like this that much. It's very boring to have by itself and only really shows its colors when its combined with the proper food. By itself though, this beer bored me. Average review.

Appearance - 3.3
Smell - 3.6
Taste - 2.8
Texture - 2.5
Overall - 3.05/5
