Made with the ever-popular Omachi rice varietal and sporting a 17% ABV, this brew is rich, round, plump, and solid. It drinks bold and velvety and does well coming into room temperature. Look for cherry, nougat, maple syrup, Fig Newton®, oatmeal, citrus, and breakfast cereal flavors on a balanced flow, with a lot of umami elements. As the fluid warms, lemon lime, mango, and papaya hints show up with a touch of mint.
