Rated from cask pour (2009) at Stougies and Stouts at the Dunedin brewery. It pours rutty – cherry – sort of brown with copper edges and tan head. The aroma is a sweet mix of caramel, nuttiness and lightly roasted malts. The aroma is a little on the light side making it difficult to discern. The taste begins sweet with malts and then some chocolate before caramel malts run right through the middle. By midway I get a solid nutty note joining the fun and aiding the experience toward closure. Into the finish and after taste roasty malt astringency dries it out to become nearly even with the load of malt and caramel malt sweetness creating a pleasing finish.

Sweet malt, chocolate, coffee and some high pine notes in the nose. Dark brown not quite opaque body is topped with a caramel colored skim coat that leaves pretty nice suds and some lace. Mouth is pretty light almost watery not a lot of carbonation in the tongue. Flavor not nearly as sweet as the nose black coffee comes through and dominates the aftertaste. There's some deeply roasted malt flavors. Just a hint of dark fruit in the beginning. Very very drinkable somewhat drying.

Nice brown colored beer and foam. Nutty malty, caramel, sweet. Solid brown ale from start to finish. Not too dry in the finish, which often happens with other brown ales I don’t like.

The beer pours a clear muddy brown color. The head is off-white, foamy, lasts a while, and laces well. An A+ for head! The aroma is fresh bread, light caramel, roasted malt, weak earthy hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is average. The flavor is nutty and sweet, and finishes with hops galore!

Okay I admit I'm not the best at describing flavors. However if you want to drink a beer that taste like a fine cigar. This is the brown white foamy head for you. Very smooth mouth feel but just a tad watery.

Malty aroma has notes of caramel and cinnamon. It pours a clear mahogany with a thick, fine-bubbled light cinnamon-tan head. Lively, malty flavor has notes of cinnamon, cloves and caramel and just a hint of horehound. Smooth, fairly firm texture is a bit powdery and has a good amount of fizz.

nice for the style, but under average for the brewer. make sense? nice rich malty, almost nutty sweet aroma. the flavor has a little more to it than most 5% beers. more sweet than anything else, but a little bit of roast and hops in there as well. good brown.

Big bottle (750 ml?),as Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. "Oatmeal" and ABV are not mentioned on the label. Mahogany coloured beer, large to moderate beige head. Nice aroma of lightly roasted malts, brown bread, caramel and nuts. The flavour has very much the same elements as the aroma, and is not too sweet. Hints of chocolate, moderate hops. The mouthfeel is fairly light and smooth. Moreish. A very drinkable beer!
