Гипер сильное по вкусу и пьяное по градусам. Классический имперец в моём понимание, много бочки, кофе и шоколада. Дерево прям как будто нацедили в бутылку. Есть жареные нотки.

Coffee holding up nicely. Chocolate and maple syrup tastiness. With nice barrel throughout.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Pretty much an opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head that is gone in no time. Smooth palate, light but with a touch of viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, decent dark chocolate, modest coffee, soft Bourbon soaked ripe fruits. A background of maple sweetness. Finishes smooth and with some alcohol spice coming to the fore. Good stuff but nothing that hasn't been done better many times before.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 22/10/24. Pitch black with a khaki head that thins to the edge. Nose is coffee bean, spice, mellow roast, brown sugar melt, balanced bourbon, toffee fudge. Taste comprises tiramisu coffee mix, sweet edged, dark malts, light spice, booze tunes, bourbon, chocolate pot, vanilla bean, bourbon bite. Full bodied, oily to light massaging carbonation vibes, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid BA impy ... just needs the sweetness toning down a little to be a great.
