Panda from Colin. Cheers. Aroma is fruity berryy with booze and glue. Dark brown. Frothy beige head. Flavourwise it' has berries, coffee, chocolate and booze. Rather sweet with a sour edge. Medium bodied. Oily. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough but somehow falls short.

Sweet and simple. Some booze, dark fruits, raisins. A little toffee. Very simple. Drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a very dark brown with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong cocoa and roast. Slick body, roasted malt, milk chocolate, licorice, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.
