Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 10/09/23. Light black with a good sized khaki head. Nose is bourbon, toffee, stewed fruits, molasses, brown sugar dusting, light smoke. Taste comprises smoked malts, charr, ashen notes, dried fruit rinds, burnt toffee, good Laphroaig presence. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol and smoky Laphroaig kiss. Decent.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a deep dark colored body that has mahogany hued edges and supports a tiny ring of light tan foam bubbles. The aroma offers up caramel, malts and inviting smoke that moves ever closer to bacon the deeper the you navigate into the pull. A second pull adds a bit of chocolate but also just further verifies what's going on here. The taste comes across a little too thin but it does manage to usher in some pleasing notes. I get smoke rimmed thinly in smoked bacon, caramel sweetness, a bit of molasses and then boozy bourbon barrel notes toward the finish. The thin body doesn't allow for the depth and richness this beer should be delivering. Aside from that I'm still able to enjoy the flavour experience.

Bottle: Poured a dak black with a light brown head. Aroma is smokey, woodsy. Taste is smokey, boozy, bourbon, wow I don't get anything else outside of alcohol.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Strong peat aromas with some light cigar, tobacco and dark licorice notes. Smooth on the palate with more strong peat notes. Some cacao nib as it warms up. More peat and woody roasted vanilla with bourbon on the finish. A bit unbalanced, but nice to see someone using peat stateside. --- Beer merged from original tick of Double Surrender Ash on 20 Apr 2019 at 00:49 - Score: 7
