Cigar City Brewing Cubano-Style Espresso Brown Ale

It had been quite a while since I’ve had Cigar City Brewing Cubano-Style Espresso Brown Ale, so when I saw it on our last trip to Florida I decided to grab a four pack and re-visit this beer.

Pours with a dark brown color and a quickly dissipating tan head. This beer smells great, it’s like freshly roasted coffee beans, one of my favorite smells in the world. The first thing I taste is dominate chocolate covered espresso beans. After a while, and a little warming, some notes of vanilla and a nice Brown Ale nuttiness come out as well.

Definitely an above average beer, but I can only see drinking this on the odd special occasion.
