Pours a deep amber/copper colour and a small beige head that leaves just a small ring. Aroma's: vinous, boozy, fruity, white grape juice, caramel/fudge. Retronasal: boozy, toffee-ish sweetness, fruit, sweet wine. Flavour is sweet with light fruity sourness. Warming alcohol, fairly strong alcohol feel. Above medium bodied. Long finish, light woody.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 13/01/24. Deep amber approaching light chestnut brown with an off white head that veers edgewards. Nose is stewed fruits, light brandy nip, booze tunes, figs, sticky toffee pudding, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises fruit cake mix, dates, figs, brown sugar melt, toffee, brandy barrel, molasses, sultanas. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid sipper.

Almost clear amber beer, small pale tan head, short lived. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Spicy brandy immediately obvious but there is more going on here. Some port wine thing going on, more of aged white port. A little barrel induced vanilla before we get back to brandy and a good layered ripe fruitiness. Airy and fairly soft finish. Spicy linger. Very nice indeed. So much more than just a brandy barrel barleywine.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours translucent ruddy amber with a very slight white head that left rapidly. Aroma of brandy and a mix of grapes and brown sugar. Full bodied. Flavor of brandy, brown sugar, grape type fruit, and oak notes. Brandy dominates. Not dry, but not really sweet. Some bitterness and astringency. Balanced and tasty. Like it a lot.
