Can thanks to bro. It pours opaque jet black with a dark tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, sweet, sticky, oily, decadent, toffee, vanilla fudge, toffee crisp, sticky toffee pudding, chocolate gateaux and vanilla cake frosting. The taste is slick, oily, heavy sweet, decadent, fudgey, heavy notes of vanilla, cake frosting, creamy, rich roasted vibes, charred, tar, toffee crisp, vanilla fudge, big hit of chocolate gateaux, cookie dough and heady notes of alcohol with a slick, sweet and boozey finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Rich, filthy, sweet and decadent.

Can. Opaque dark brown black beer, decent bubbly dark tan head. Palate is airy and has decent fine carbonation. The 14% alcohol shows its teeth with ever persistent spice but no real heat. Smooth dark malts. Dark chocolate Malteasers made in to a 15% liqueur! Very obvious caramel as you would expect and it sits well with the dark chocolate malts. Tastes barrel aged with fruity spirits. The only element I wasn't too sure about was some quite obvious esters. Particularly banana esters. But ultimately, choc, caramel and banana with some well drizzled spirity sauce? What's not to like there? Finishes smooth and boozy on a good way. A fine super Impy pastry.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a dark murky muddy mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet sweet sugary malts tempered by thin clouds of muted caramel and roasted malts. The taste delivers a blend of slick sweet sugary malts flowing into some dark roasted malts, tootsie rolls and then a bit of malt blunted vanilla. This wants to come together better but it leaves a little on the court. Whoa. The massive ABV is hardly noticed. Strange. Fun beer.

440ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, milk chocolate. Taste is incredibly sweet, loads of caramel, toffee, milk chocolate, vanilla, molasses, some burnt bitterness at the end and a very warming boozy finish. Very thick, smooth.

Can at home, and itโs one I landed to shared based on the abv. However my good lady picked this from the beer stash. Jet black with a dark tan head. Aroma and taste are malty chocolate, with sweet caramel and honey. Growing sweet taste. Full smooth body.
