S: Citrus and resinous hops, sweet toasted malts, and a bready sweetness. bottle into an El Catador Barrel-Aged glass.Ī: Pours a hazy to murky dark brown, with a thin tan head that fades quickly and low visible carbonation. impressive offering from cigar city, one of their very best i have had! i hope to see this weird wood integration continue. some residual sugar and booze finish it off, but both are welcome this time. they work together well enough, and with the complex malt bill on this, its like nothing else out there. the other wood might account for some of the spiciness here, but its tough to tell. the maple is a softer wood than oak in terms of flavor, possibly more porous, which allows a woody sweet flavor without some of the heavier elements that oak lends. so often those flavors take over beer, even big stouts, so using a brown ale base and then different woods without the bourbon is a great idea, and yields an uncommon and interesting beer. one of the things that makes this special before i even taste it, is that its not aged in a bourbon barrel. aroma is amazing, there has to be more going on here than just brown ale as a base, i get heavy dry dark chocolate, deeper roast that i ever get in a brown (of any persuasion), a vanilla and honey creaminess, subtle woody rooty spice, char. this was one of the more memorable beers from a great florida vacation, pricey bottle, but worth it! not amazing looking on the pour, murky dense not super heady beer after a second, somewhere between brown and black, some sediment. i know basically nothing of padauk wood, except it is commonly used to make guitar necks? not sure what that means for the flavor, but i like the idea of double wood ageing, and of introducing some new wood into the flavor mix here, i wish we saw more of that in craft beer. Sep 04, 2017Ī beautiful earthy imperial brown ale aged on two woods, padauk and maple. That being said, dark woods is an apt name for this beer - the flavors are woodsy, piney and musty - all things I associate with dark woods. Definitely a unique take on the brown ale - one that is not very reminiscent of the classic brown ale. Overall this is a super interesting beer. The base may be a brown ale, but this is so much more than a simple brown ale.įeel is very light, thin, drinkable. The flavors in this beer are very unique for the style and frankly, taken together, a rather substantial departure from a classic brown ale. Not much bitterness on the finish - more like a lingering pine flavor. Malts give way to a chocolate and citrus zest finish. Nutty roasted malts come through after that initial pine and citrus punch. Taste follows the nose with lots of pine and maple wood up front. There is a bit of a musty/mossy maybe peaty aroma present throughout. Very piney and woody up front with some roasted almost charred malt notes coming through. The beer name is dark woods - and the aroma really reflects that. Thin tan fizzy head dissipates leaving no lacing or residual head other than a very thin ring of foam along the outside of the beer. Completely opaque even when held to the light.
