Lattina. Il gusto al naso viene attratto da orzo tostato e caffè. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di zuccherino, miele, crosta di panettone, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

440ml can from Craft Central, Dublin. Shared with bladdock during a successful mega-tasting at his gaff. Quick slurp before leggin it for the train. Pours a clear copper, large off-white head. Twiggy malt impressions, some brown bread and toasted malt elements. That's all I could get from the amount I had.

Last beer of the night, mega 'Panda and tasting session' with Mat at my place. The Lions share of a 440ml can on 10th April 2024, Minutemat who brought the can had to leave for the train mid-pour, all good for me though! Nice, foaming tanned head on a clean dark copper body. Malty front, pretty sweet really, light chocolate notes, but mostly subdued caramel flavours, nice!
