330ml panda from LCB. Black with thin beige head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, coffee, light roast, hint of vanilla. Taste has a moreish rich quality to it with the same notes as aroma. Starts semi-sweet but the bitterness kicks in a long finish with some light herbal hops. Medium to full bodied. Enjoyable.

Sommeravslutning på Mi2, Cardianl juni-23, fra fat: brunsvart med fint skum som varrer helt ned. Silkemykt anslag med mild, friskbrent kaffe, mørke dessertchokolader og urter (måske også nogle hasselnødder og vanilje?). Superbalancered og elegant drikke med velgørende virkning på krop og sjæl. Cremet mundfølelse og nydelig eftersmag. En innertier.
