Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Cigar City Brewing Cubano-Style
Espresso Brown Ale - Ale with Vanilla, Cacao & Coffee Beans added.
From the Cigar City Brewing website:
“This brown ale is brewed with a heaping amount of Cubano-style espresso beans,
vanilla and cacao nibs. Rich coffee notes dominate this beer, while still being
balanced by a smooth malty backbone. Pairs well with arroz con leche and, of
course, a delicate shot of Cubano espresso.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
brown with a creamy khaki colored head and good lacing.
Aroma: Espresso,
chocolate, caramel, vanilla and a slight toasted malt scent.
Taste: Espresso,
chocolate, caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts and malts.
Overall: Extremely
tasty and flavorful, Cigar City Brewing Cubano-Style Espresso Brown Ale is
another stellar beer from one of my favorite breweries. This 5.5% ABV offering is a must try for fans
of the style or for those willing to be convinced that you DO like this
style. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
