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.

Tap at BeerTemple, 12th September 2024. Pours clear and brown. Aroma is sweet. Taste is sweet, sickly, caramel and malts, it’s not doing it for me.

Bottle, 500 ml, shared with Luka and Miro B. Black with brownish head. Beautiful roasty coffee, fudge, maple, chocolate, medium+ sweetness with some bitterness. Medium to full bodied. Tad too sweet, but still pretty great.

Draught @ Kultainen Apina as Buckley Reserve #2 (15%) Aroma has chocolate, some sweet malt. Flavour has alcohol, chocolate liquor, some molasses. Sweetish, heavy and boozy, drinkability could be better. Works as a slow sipper still.
