The Bold Side of Brugse

Brugse Zot Tangles with Partagas Spanish Rosado Gigante


The Cigar
Wrapper: Spanish Rosado
Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf
Filler: Honduran, Dominican and Mexican
Size: 6 x 60
Strength rating: 8
This big baby is a robust spicy, white peppery beauty. Solid woody notes with a nice undertone of roasted walnuts. The mouthfeel is thick and earthy as the smoke fills the palate.

The Brugs
A hazy golden color with nice sediment floating around which adds to the hazy look. It has a pleasant sweet-sour taste with some firm spice. The hops help to balance this ale. I enjoy the citrus profile.

The 6% abv makes it a good beer to enjoy a few.

The Pairing
A solid pairing, giving me a fuller mouthfeel. The cigar has a thick smoky feel on the tongue. The citrus and carbonation of the ale helps to battle the bold flavors of this big cigar.
