Panda at home, thanks to Mark the Bearded Avenger, 21/12/2025.
Pitch black with a fast escaping tan head.
Nose is decadent chocolate, vanilla, molasses, brown sugar melt, caramel.
Taste comprises dried fruit rinds, faint liquorice, spice, dark malts, chocolate melt, bourbon barrel tones, figs, fruit cake mix.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light rip of alcohol.
Solid sipper.

Can from me bossman. Inky. Foamy tan head is relatively short lasting. Aroma is led by sweet whisky and booze over espresso and molasses with a hint of liqourice. Flavourwise the barrel again leads the way over espresso and liqourice bitterness. Malts and molasses. But unlike the rum version the whiskey seems to dominate. Medium bodied. Slick to oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Good warming stuff but I prefer the Rum one.

Tap at Kraft. Jet black pour with a beige head. Nose is intense chocolate, booze, lots of bourbon, vanilla and light coffee. Beautiful. The taste is just as good: full of bourbon notes and chocolate, coffee, cocoa powder, light molasses and a hint of dried fruits. Sweet, but not cloying. The barrel notes are intense but not overpower the base beer, very well done. Closes with a long lasting, sweet chocolate-bourbon finish, has a HUGE body and soft carbonation. Damn good stuff.

Közepes, tömör, tartós hab, fekete szín. Illatában uralkodó a bourbon hordó, vaníliás jegyekkel, a háttérben csokival, kávéval, aszalt gyümölcsökkel. Csokis, kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös, bourbonos, hordós, vaníliás ízek, némi földességgel. Inkább stout mint porter, bár visszafogottabbak a pörkölésből eredő jegyek. Testes, lágy, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Nagyon finom.

Can. Dark and dark. Wood and leather, a walk in the rain, salty umami (but this time the good version). Heavy chocolate at the beginning, then a lovely balance, a beautiful and long journey. This very much works.

Darkest brown. Aroma is heavy chocolate some vanilla and soy sauce with some coffee ground. Taste is dense sweet chocolate and brown sugar with light booze. Vanilla booze and some coconut in the finish. Pretty heavy. Alright. I liked the non BA version better though.

Can. Black color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel fudge and vanilla, rich but not overdone. Taste is chocolate, caramel and vanilla, but also some fruitiness, red fruits, a dash of sauteed mushroons, again not overdone, good character. Soft carbonation, fruity-estery aftertaste. Excellent!
