Traditional British porter base with added pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice and aged on vanilla bean pods. Exceptionally smooth and complex.

Panda at home, thanks to the Mark the Bearded Avenger, 20/12/2025.
Pitch black with a fast collapsing tan head.
Nose is dark malts, light roast, dried fruit rinds, pumpkin essence.
Taste comprises chocolate, fruit cake, pumpkin pie, dark malts, herb.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close.
Decent enough pumpkin porter, well nuanced and not running overly sweet.

Black pour with a small tan head. Grain/malt, cream, vanilla, cocoa, coffee, spices. Nice, somewhat spicy finish. Not overly boozy. Flavour profile could be a bit bolder, given the ABV.

- Cask at EBF Nov 25. Darkest brown. Inky. Thin foamy tan head. Aroma has spice and coffee with sour cream. Flavourwise there's initial spice over cacao, espresso and a hint of liqourice. Underlying creaminess. Thick. Oily. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable yet somehow restrained.
