Bottle scored in Washington DC hand-carried back to The Big, split with neighborhood beer buddy.

A bit less than a full finger of medium brown head, over dark brown nearly opaque body, needed to hold up closely to light to see several streams of small rising bubbles. Nose is fairly complex, some light roasted floor malt, tobacco (!), caramel and floral hops. Taste mirrors nose, easy drinking personified. Mouthfeel is medium, light effervescence. Not bad, I need a Cubano sandwich to fully enjoy this. Would be interested in trying the more complex versions of this base beer.

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.
