Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 24/06/23. Black with a fast escaping tan head. Nose is chocolate pot, brown sugar melt, molasses, toffee fudge, vanilla essence, mellow bourbon nip. Taste comprises dark malts, spice, bourbon kiss, vanilla, dried fruit rinds, chocolate, molasses, dates, figs, nutty trace. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Tidy BA impy that packs a punch and balances well.

Can. Opaque dark brown black beer, small tan head that fucks off in a jiffy. The palate is remarkably light for its hefty 16% abv, even feels a little thin. Mildy dry with good fine carbonation. The dark malts are crisp but rich, good dark chocolate and where the well integrated vanilla intersects, some nice mill chocolate and chocolate ganache. Good fruity rich bourbon punch, some bourbon spice as well. Savoury wood provides a little contrast. Little coconut before a slightly bitterish chocolate finish. A very fine BBA Impy. Very strong but easy drinking and with harmonious and layered flavours. Lovely!

0,355l can from Pien Webshop Advent calendar, #5. Very dark brown, almost black beer with medium but quickly vanishing head. Delicious aroma has dark fried fruits, plum and raisins, oak barrels, wood, bourbon, dark chocolate and vanilla. Flavor has pretty much same elements with cocoa, but alchohol and sweetness are too dominant. Full body.

Can. Pours black with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of bourbon and vanilla with strong roasted malts, chocolate and dark grains supporting. Flavor has lots of chocolate and bourbon with dark grains and roasted malts growing through the finish.
