11/9/2021. Panda shared by SHIG. Pours thick and black with a small bubbly tan coloured head. Delightful aroma, rich chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, cinnamon biscuit, vanilla, dried fruits, woody notes, touch of pepper. Medium sweetness and light roasted bitterness with developing pepper heat. Full bodied, slick texture, soft carbonation.

Tasting at Chez Cloin. Thanks to the team. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, soft and a little airy, decent fine carbonation. Soft dark chocolate malts, rich. Chilli peppery spice ramps up early. Soft vanilla underneath. The apple brandy barrel sits well back, unfortunately. Smooth finish. Tasty but too pepper forward to be great.
