Draught Red cognac-colour, no carbonation. Deep rich alcohol/fusels' nose with dried red fruit. Sweet, syrupy. Again dried fruit as figs, dates, raisins. Dessert wine. Very slick, syrupy, furious alcoholheat. A fiery one indeed, but slightly too sweet for my preference.

Lovely strong ale, barleywine like not too bitter. Billie’s craft beer great 2024

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 04/09/24. Mahogany brown topped with an off white cap that soon escapes to the edge. Nose is fruit cake mix, caramel, stewed fruits, dark malts, spice, dates. Taste comprises fruit cake, dates, prunes, burnt toffee, spice, molasses, toasted brown sugars. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with a balanced buzz of boost. Solid sipper although the barrel doesn't really do it for me and perhaps comes over a little hot and undefined.
