Near black body with a fine tan head on top of this stout. Coffee for sure with a touch of dark chocolate on the nose. The flavors follow the nose with a bit of roasted grains and a touch of malty sweetness to give some good balance. Overall, simple and tasty. This is a good after dinner stout to be paired with a nice slice of cheese cake or other dessert.

We can get right to the point with this cigar – it has a wheat bread toastiness with a mild-medium roast coffee profile. The mouthfeel is semi-dry with a light aftertaste of dry coffee. This maduro to me is a bit boring. It is too one dimensional throughout the whole smoking experience.
This should be a good pairing or extremely boring. COFFEE is the key word here of course. I am going with good because I love coffee. This is not a complex pairing because both products are very simple. This would make a great morning pairing with the only problem being ... I don’t drink beer in the morning.
