Using Maris Otter from Warminster Maltings, 5 different crystal and roasted malts from Simpsons Malt plus organic oats from Pimhill Farm to create this opaque, rich, silky and smooth dark ale. Hopped with Boadicea and fermented with a dry British Ale strain.

Panda at home, thanks to the Bearded Avenger, 07/11/2025.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a good sized khaki head.
Nose is earthy roast, chocolate biscuit, spice, herb, dark malts.
Taste comprises dark malts, fruit tang, dried red berries, spice, toffee, light roast, raisins.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Decent enough stout.

Can bought at Blas ar Fwyd, Llanrwst. Dark and glossy. Mahoosive foamy beige head. Aroma has milky coffee and porridge. Flavourwise it then ramps things up, combining espresso, liqourice and dark tangy berries. Bitter and chewy with a sour edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff.

440ml can @ Daphne's, Presteigne. Pours black with a good collar of tan foam. Lovely welcoming aroma of milk chocolate, dark malt, soft roast. Creamy oatmeal mouthfeel, dark malt, lovely sweetness, milk chocolate. Really nicely presented oatmeal stout.
