Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 07/03/24. Black with a tan cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, nutty, faint yeast backnotes, toffee, charr, little barrel offered on the nose. Taste comprises ripe fruit esters, molasses, dark malts, bourbon bite, spice, vanilla, chocolate, dates. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a good boost level offered. Decent BA affair if a little raw at times.

Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness, touch of woody tartness, tannic edge. Full bodied, smooth, light carbonation. Enjoyable.
