Bottle. Pours a thickish black, very little head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, coffee, whiskey. Medium to full body. Flavour is sweet, coffee and lots of caramel, brown sugar, some whiskey. Good, but not living up to põhjala's great cellar series beers.

Panda at home, thanks to Pappa Fergus, 07/01/24. Black with a tan head that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, charr, dried fruit rinds, whisky barrel, light herb. Taste comprises bitter fruit rinds, spice, herb, whisky barrel, charr, tangy fruits, cocoa sprinkle, dried red berries, just a hint of coffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a spike of alcohol. Okay BA impy if a little tangy and disjointed.

Bottle @ home. Black body under a small, short lasting tan head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate and slightly perfumed. Taste is sweet dark malt, dark chocolate, coffee and hint of whisky with low bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. OK, but far from the best from this brewery. Feels a bit weak in taste with a messy combination of flavors.
