Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan head that dissipates quickly. Apple Brandy notes on the nose with bourbon, oak and dark chocolate. Palate is similar with lots of apple brandy, bourbon, chocolate and dark fruit. Smooth finish with great barrel character. Killer stuff!

Panda thanks to Wingman. Near clear deep brown beer, small and short lived bubbly dark tan head. Fairly smooth palate but also, a tad thin for the style and mildly dry. Good fine minerally carbonation. The slightly thin bodied dark malts impact super boozy and rich chocolate cake. Punchy boozy bourbon. The added savoury elements come through on the spicy back end but are never a central part of this overall beer, not for me anyway! Still, great fun and, the Transient intensity, just keeps coming.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 13/07/2025.
Pitch black topped with a khaki cap that soon veers to the edge.
Nose is mellow barrel vanilla, chocolate melt, light coffee grinds, toasted brown sugars.
Taste comprises chocolate, brown sugar melt, molasses, toffee fudge, candied fruit rinds, mellow well integrated barrel tones.
Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Tidy sipper.
