Dark amber with a medium tan head. Aroma of hazelnut malt. Flavour is chocolate, velvet texture, nutty, sweet, creamy chocolate base.

ABV hidden really well, med full body, lowish carbo. Shitloads of toffee, that is the main thing here. A bit simple really, lacking more deep roast or anything besides toffee. Still, pretty good, but not great.

Tap at Winter Affair 2026. Someone had me try it while I was preoccupied with two others, hah... just noted that it's a very good hazelnutty stout. To be rerated if given the chance.

Frothy fair fully diminishing head. Amber colour. Heavy malty and light hoppy aroma. Some hazelnut notes. Moderate bitter intense flavor. Long moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate.

Very sweet and chocolate. Some nuts then more sweetness.

Can from Three Hounds Beer Cafe & Bottle Shop. Nose is dark chocolate, hazelnut, raisin, caramel, toffee. Taste is an intensity sweet mix of the above. Boozy warming alcohol infusion.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 04/12/2025.
black topped with a tan head that soon vanishes.
Nose is chocolate, honeycomb, light booze tunes, dark malts, molasses.
Taste comprises Crunchie bar, toffee, chocolate melt, honeycomb, molasses, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Fun pastry impy if a little overly sweet for my palate and needs some balancing aspect to the sweet onslaught! Sips fine for 15% though!
