Draught @ Dive96, Manhattan NYC. Inky black with a small foamy tan head, sweetish mocha aroma, low carbonation, mildly sweet lightly woodsy mocha taste, alcohol undertones, smooth body, long smooth sweetish mocha finish. Very smooth and tasteful.

Wineglass showing dark brown with sparse latte colored foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of adzuki beans and hints of dark chocolate.
The palate is well carbonated and thin bodied. Light adzuki forwardness with a mild bitterness.
Wow! What a lovely marriage amongst the Bourbon oats and roasted malt. Thanks Jay!
