Can from the Siren Advent Calendar 2025. A shame that the last beer was one of my least favourite styles (stout full of shit), but then I accept I'm maybe the outlier here! Pours nicely enough, deep dark brown with a thin tan head. The nose is too much chocolate, too sweet, faint wood spice. Taste is sweet, chocolate and vanilla. Sweet finish. Not my bag.

Думал будет лучше, при выходе на рынок был даже какой то хайп, в итоге просто нормальный обычный пастрик. Ничего выдающегося.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Clear deep brown beer, small bubbly tan head. A pretty light palate, thin for the style really, decent fine carbonation. Thin bodied dark malts, mild roast bitterness, a little coffee, slightly perfumey wood and sweet eaters on the back end. A touch of tangy darkish chocolate runs throughout. Intriguing brew, layered interesting flavours, a little more body would be appreciated.

330ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate, light roast, light woody and bourbon notes. Taste is rich and chocolatey, still just as milky as the Milk version, light coffee roast, woody notes a bit more prominent in this one, and a hint of bourbon, sugary sweet with a light bitter finish, gentle alcohol warmth. Medium bodied. Definitely better than the Milk and Dark versions but still a bit milky for me.

On tap at the Three Hounds Beer Cafe & Bottle Shop. Nose is dark chocolate, cacao, pecan, liquorice toffee. Bourbon hits you straight off in the taste, quite nutty, lots of dark chocolate & cacao. Rich warming finish. Nice.

Tap at Three Hounds Beer Bar, Beckenham 28/11/2025 Opulent silky chocolate malty, sweet and lightly roasted, interlaced with layers of spice and bourbon, vanilla, cakey malts, full bodied, spiced and bourbon infused lingering dark malty finish. Lovely.
