12 oz bottle into a DFH Snifter

A - Dark brown pour with a two finger light mocha head, decent retention with a light lace.

S - Earthy and a bit nutty smelling, along with hints of caramel and toffee

T&M - Rather crisp for a brown up front, with a substantial malt profile that leaves a slight sweetness behind...a bit "sticky" feeling. A generous hopping gives some balance to this heavier bodied brew, with earthy notes and dark roasted malts going back and forth. Caramel and toffee come in the middle and in the finish. Typical nuttiness is present, but quite a bit more subdued by the malt profile then most browns.

O - Rather enjoyable; a sweeter brown with a lot of flavors playing off one another. The substantial hopping helps hold everything together. An excellent brew and an enjoyable diversion from the typical.

A- Dark chocolate brown with a creamy tan head of about a 1/2 finger that doesn't stick around too long. Opaque with sparse lacing. I know browns aren't usually the most asthetically pleasing style, but nothing that really stands out to me here.

S- Caramel and roasted nuts with toasted grain up front. Touch of chocolate. Espresso kicks in late. Delightful nutty aroma.

T- Follows nose pretty well. Intense roasted walnuts and caramel gets things started. Chocolate, oats, and the slightest touch of earthy hops also make their way. Finish left a little something to be desired for my palate. But it had a nice richness to it.

M- A little thin, but not far off for the style. Smooth and fairly drinkable. Good session beer if you enjoy these flavors. Not bitter, but slightly dry.

O- My first from Cigar City. Unique, and certainly enjoyable. Almost like a light, thinner porter. I can see how this would pair well with desert and a cigar (if i were a cigar smoker). Very interesting and well put together nut brown.
