Brocatus Torpedo Cigar and Bieken Honey Ale: Review

The Cigar
Wrapper: Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian
Filler: Dominican
Size: 6.5 x 52
My Strength Rating: 3.5
There is nothing complex about this cigar but, it is a tasty woody flavored cigar. This cigar is on the mild side and is perfect for a summer day. The cigar is never harsh and is always satisfying. There is nice pecan like nutty note that mingle well with a smooth oak wood like character. If you are looking for a great value cigar – this is it. I am getting low on the box that I bought and I am planning to buy a couple of boxes next time.

The Ale
The Bieken is an 8.5% abv Belgian beer with a nice mild-medium body flavor. This ale is well balanced. There is nothing overwhelming from this ale. Yes, it is on the sweet side of the scale but, it is a very tasty sweet. The summertime fruits have that honey dipped flavor and if you want to enjoy a quality ale on a hot day this is it.

The Pairing
This is a very tasty pairing on this wonderful summer day. The nutty, woody character of the cigar pairs well with the sweet fruits of the Bieken Ale. I would definitely pair these up again on a hot summer day.
