Surprised to find a can in that sad back store area of Now & Later in Syracuse. Clear plastic cup in my hotel. Cascading light tan head. Dark cola, over coffee color. Very generous & obvious cocoa/Swiss Miss nose. Cocoa, dry malt, thin, raspberry is there but soft. It lingers though. Some hidden acidity peeks through, marshmallow-y flavor on the finish. Good stuff.
