440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours an one-finger thick, tan-coloured head, remaining over a deep black body. Upper part lacing. Roasted mid-sweet, creamy chocolate malts on the nose. Distinct vanilla almond to the taste buds joined by grain and cocoa, lactose backbone. Gently roasted ending, smooth on the swallow. Nice sipper, just a little too sweet in the long run.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergoose, 13/01/21. Black with a good sized khaki head. Nose is marzipan, chocolate, faint vanilla, melted brown sugar, light roasted vibes. Taste comprises chocolate melt, almond flakes, toffee, syrup, molasses, sweet malts, kiss of alcohol. Full bodied, fine massaging carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent Pays-Tree fayre, especially considering this went out to a major supermarket, one of the top supermarche biers in lockdown for sure!

Black with a beige head. Aroma of big marzipan, almond, licorice, cocoa, coffee, vanilla and roast. Flavour is heavy sweet and bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Damn heavy on the almonds, too much for my taste.
