Cigar City Brewing Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale

My first Cigar City beer since the famed Hunahpu Stout, I hope it's good.

This beer pours cloudy brown with a slight red tint and a very thin white head. The aroma is a bit stronger than I expected for a brown ale and has quite a bit of alcohol in it. The alcohol mixes with a roast and sweet backbone. The flavor is very smooth and not quite as sharp as the nose, with a touch of roasted coffee and oatmeal, this is quite an interesting beer. Fairly light bodied with a bitter finish and a tad watery than I would have hoped for.

Appearance - 3.5
Smell - 4.0
Taste - 3.7
Texture - 3.4
Overall - 3.65/5
