Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale pours with a small amount of head that fades to a thin trim of foam around the glass.

The aroma is a very dry mellow mocha with little to no flora from the hops as expected.

The tastes starts with a dry lightly carbonated chocolate malt flavor that reminds me of bitter chocolate, which I enjoy. The finish only gets drier with a mellowing of the chocolate tones. The malty flavors stick in the mouth due to the dryness.

This is a very good American Brown Ale.
