0.44 l can, huge thanks to Viลกnja 666. Shared with little Dina, Jadran and her. Pitch black, diminishing brown head. Huge coffee, milk chocolate, black fruit, licorice, spice and loads of sugar. Moderate carbonation, very sweet, also tart dried fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon. Smooth, slick, silky, moderate finish. Too sweet.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours black-brown with a quickly fading, fuzzy brown head. Big and sweet for sure, lots of gooey chocolate, juicy and lightly tangy cherries, chocolate cake, mellow roast, earth. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Finishes with more sweet cherries, sugary chocolate, some fudge, cake. Some nice flavours in here, just a bit basic overall. Certainly does what it says on the tin.

13/2/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is of very sweet and creamy Black Forest gateaux, milk chocolate, light coffee, toffee and a touch of nut. Heavy sweetness with some tart black cherry. Full bodied, soft carbonation. Nice but just a little too sweet for me.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 29/01/21. Black with a decent tan covering that thins to a swirl. Nose is sweet malts, Black Forest Gateaux, chocolate, brown sugar melt, chocolate dipped cherries. Taste comprises sweet malts, coffee, more BFG notes, glazed cherries, dark malts, molasses. Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent impy ... a touch on the sweet side but doesn't go runaway sugar rush.
