Postmortem Brew Review
Rich brown color.
Deep malty aroma, not much else.
Tan colored, minimal head that settles quickly to a cover.
Lacing is also minimal on the glass.
Malty sweet with a slight sugary sweet taste at end of each sip.
Nice amount of carbonation.
Medium bodied mouth feel. Pretty easy to drink in a session.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
V I C T O R Y ! Raise your glasses folks.
Went to my favorite watering hole tonight and ordered the Maduro in celebration of the Cigar City Tasting Room's approval for wet zoning. The Tampa City Council passed the decision in a close 4 to 3 'yes' vote. CCB had previously been allowed temporary permits that had to be renewed on a regular basis to keep the Tasting Room open. All seven Tampa council persons showed up on this important vote. It was a great relief to the local craft beer community of Florida and beyond to hear that Tampa's multi-award winning brewery was allowed to have a permanent wet zoning license.
Cigar City has grown in just two years from two employees to over twenty. People I know have planned portions of their Florida vacations just to visit this renown brewery, showing they have the drawing power to bring tourism into the state. I have visited the place and found it nice to see where the beer is made and enjoy one or two of their delicious beers. Half growlers or double growlers are available for purchase along with 12 oz and 750 ml bottles. You can also buy shirts, hats and other CCB logo items.
Remember to support your local brewery, your local brewer and fight for the right to drink decent beer. It's the only fight worth having over beer.
