Cigar City Bolita Brown Double Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Cigar City Brewing
Style: American Strong Ale
Tampa, Florida USA

bottle from mcbackus- Thanks Matt! Consumed with BBB63 while passing out candy to tricker treaters. pours a deep brown with a tan head. notes of medicine, caramel, chocolate, coffee. seems like cigar city has a yeast strain that produces some medicinal notes. Seems to be a common denominator in many of their beers.

Bottle, thanks Jason. Poured a rich mahogany with a slight bubbly head. Nose was vanilla, Carmel, and a hint of alcohol and rich malts. Very bubbly mouthful. This is full flavored beer. Hints of vanilla big malts and a bit of an alcohol bite. Really big beer for a brown ale. Be interested how this would do with some age.

Well, this is a helluva beer. The aroma is very good; lots of malty and sweet components. This kind of heavy brown malt has a slight sourish quality, like wet, fermenting walnut. Really strong notes of smoke and tobacco in the aroma, and slight acidity in the flavor to accompany. Malty all over and then some hop astringency, again and again, in a full-bodied beer. Carries carbonation excellently. Well made, hefty. Extremely flavorful, fresh, and reeks of being handmade. My only complaint is the ABV. Not subtle and detracts from being able to enjoy fully. Slightly sugary yet coffee-acid, overly roasty ending. Thanks to Beerlando for my first CCB.

Bottle at the release of Flaming Fury. Pours a milky and murky brown with a thick yellowed mocha head. Nutty and malty with notes of chocolate and a light acidity. Medium bodied and full of malt. Tasty, finishing up with a good bitterness.

Bottle. Moderate roasted and chocolate notes for the malt, pine for the hops, leather for the yeast, heavy background notes of tobacco, cyprus mulch and a little solvent. Head is small, wispy, off-white with just a little lacing and isfully diminishing. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic and moderately bitter. Palat eis medium, oily, with a lively carbonation and finishes very dry. A perfectly even balance tempers some of the powerful aspects of this tasty American Strong Ale.

Bottle Thanks to my man snoop doggy Douglas88. Pours out a dark brown topped with a sand head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, nuttiness, and rich malts. Taste was more of the roast malts, sweetness, some smoke maybe cigar ash??? Maybe not. A tasty treat right before the BB version.

Bottle I picked up at Capone’s. We have been waiting for Cigar City. Poured a dark chestnut brown with a nice head, faded at a moderate pace. Nose has little malt and hops but a clean fresh smell. First sip is full of roasted brown malt almost stout like hints of caramel and coffee also permeate. Hops finish is just right. Terrifc brown ale.

Bottle - thanks changeup415. Nice dark leathery brown color with a finger of creamy tan head. Nose of roasted malt, light coffee, and an undeterminable spice that gives it a kind of lively sweetness. A smooth, rich blend of caramel, roasted malt, mocha, and toffee. Maybe even a little hazlenut. Lingering finish is dry and lightly bitter, full of roast and mocha. Well balanced overall. A rich and full flavored brown ale... nice.
