Panda pop thanks to Shig at the first lockdown tasting, 2nd test vs Windies, Hazlemere 16/07/20. Mahogany brown pour with a beige head. Nose is light roast, dried fruits, toffee, brown sugar sprinkle. Taste comprises dark malts, toffee, pinch of spice, earthy tones, cocoa sprinkle, fruit slice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Ok porter but lacking depth given the relative ABV.

21/7/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours very dark ruby brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, dark chocolate, deep roasted malt, liquorice, toffee, coffee, slight ashy notes. Moderate sweetness and moderate to medium bitterness. Full body, smooth texture, soft carbonation. Figgy pudding, roasty finish. Good stuff.
