Panda at home thanks to Colin. A clear burnt orange coloured pour with some small loose bubbles. Aroma is nice rich toasted honey, caramel, hints of smoke, prunes, vanilla. Flavour is composed of sticky sweet, toffee rich honey, vanilla, jammy fruits, strawberry and prune. Palate is very sweet, sticky, syrupy. Really complex. Love it.

Sample from SHIG, courtesy of Grumbo, cheers guys! Amber gold colour, afew bubbles on top and aroma of sweet honey, vanilla, berry hints. Taste is honey, fruity, floral, woody, with some berry & spice hints and boozy notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, tangy boozy finish. Nicely drinkable.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 23/12/20 ... rollin over that midnight! Golden amber with a light reddish hue with nothing in the way of a head. Nose is blackcurrant lockets, honey dollop, sweet notes, vanilla, berry syrup. Taste comprises sugars, honey, berry fruits, blackcurrant, sweet tones. Full bodied, oily slick feel, warming kiss of alcohol at the curtain call. Decent fruited Mead.

17/12/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours clear, golden amber, no head. Aroma of flowers, honey, hedgerow, touch of caramel, and a little solvent and petroleum jelly. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, low carbonation. Nice bittersweet finish, with just a hint of chocolate. Enjoyable.
