Panda thanks to Cloin. Clear amber beer, small bubbly tan head. Fairly dry and somewhat thin palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, touch of tangy caramel. Bags of dry cinnamon, getting a little hot. Cloves and mild dark fruits. Light and semi dry finish. All over the place. Dry and thin and way over spiced.

Panda from Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Dark brown colour, biege bubby head and aroma of christmas cake, almonds, marzipan, spices. Taste is sweetish, malty, candied citrus, christmas cake, almond, with spice, zesty, and some bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying citric almondy spiced bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Panda from Colin Bois. Cheers. Opaque cola brown. Thin foamy beige head. Aroma is spicy with a sweetness to this, over dark cake dough. Gluey. Flavourwise the spice adds a tingle over mocha bitterness and underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 22/03/2026.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that veers to the edge over time.
Nose is cinnamon, almond, dried fruit shavings, icing sugar.
Taste comprises tangy dried fruit rinds, almond, more icing sugar, raisins, herb, light spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close.
Pulled off rather well although couldn't drink a whole load of this!

Not sure about this as has a real yang to it. Not convinced the beer was off but bar staff insisted it was correct. Not a fan

Dark clear brown coloured brew. Stollen is supposed to represent baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling. The stollen influence is heavy, with dense cake notes not reaching sweet levels. It's tasty enough though, and a little boozy too. Fair Christmas seasonal.
