Taste is sweet, malty, caramel, molasses, dark chocolate, dried fruits, brandy barrel, coconut, with boozy nutty bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, full bodied, smooth soft carbonation, drying boozy finish. Very sippable.

Panda thanks to the team and Cloin for the panda. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Palate starts smooth and a little viscous but decent fine minerally carbonation comes through. Rich dark chocolate malts, sweet dark chocolate. A little coffee and coconut. Quite a boozy bourbon and even brandish back end. Alcohol spice starting to nibble. A rich and very rewarding brew.

Bottle from a friend. Black with beige head. Loads of chocolate, cocoa, coconut and marshmallows. Super pastryesque with great balance of sweetness. Nice!
