Draft @ pig minds. Pours black with minimal dark tan head. Aroma of light coffee, dark chocolate, and a little caramel. There is also a distinct taste of what i assume is the oats. Taste is similar, but more of a focus in the coffee light vodied with a somewhat thin texture. Very soft carbonation and s very long finish. Overall, its pretty darn good. Slthough, i think it would be better if it were aged a bit longer. The body is a little too thin for my preferences .
