Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale - Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
Thrown in as an extra by thedominator...gracias...really wanted to try. A-Medium brown color...good thick head that stayed around for a bit. S-Lot of oatmeal..cinnamon..sweet smells...sugar...molases..brown sugar...good spice...it smells...well, like an oatmeal cookie...nuts huh? T-Taste follows suit with smell...and label. I drank this and thought...they really hit a homerun here...it tastes like a good oatmeal cookie but that is not doing the beer justice...just b/c something tastes like what the bottle claims is not an indicator that it is good...this works...quite well...I contrast this to things like Short's Key Lime Pie...which I know has high ratings from others but just misses the mark for me...I get the Key Lime aspect but it does not mesh...this meshes. You get the balance of the oatmeal cookie flavors...the oatmeal, fruit, spices and it goes perfect w/ a great quality brown ale. M-very good...medium to medium high carbonation...quite smooth on the palate...creamy character. D-high. I only had a bottle b/c that is all that I had available...had I more bottles...i would have drank more. Looking forward to getting some more of this.
