330 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany with light foamy head. Aromas of candi sugar, candied orange peel, raisins, stewed fruit and toasty malts. Flavors follow same with additional dry honey. Ultimately dry and fruity. Good stuff.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 26/06/2025.
Amber topped with a light beige cap that veers to the edge.
Nose is fruit cake, toffee, toasted brown sugars, dates, prunes.
Taste comprises caramel, fruit rinds, fruit slice, herb, light spice, dates.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow boost.
Okay life but a fair few notches away from the best of the style.

Near clear amber beer, decent bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, a decent caramel creamy sweetness, definitely forward on the sweetness aspect. Ripe fruits, datey fruits, goes well with the caramel. Simple but tasty.

Helder robijnrood bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is kruidig zoet en licht bitter met iets van noten, wat honing, een beetje vanille en wat hout. Niet de allerbeste maar zeker niet slecht.

hazy chestnut colour, one inch of creamy beige-ish dark ecru head; aroma of wine cellary-yeasty-earthy, dried cherry, prune, some cherry, vanilla, caramel, slight anise and soy sauce notes; taste is quite the same; honestly, it is quite disappointing... :(

Hazy amber colour, creamy foam. Nose of tropical fruit, pine, citrus along with sweet vanilla notes. Refreshing for being 12 ABV. Unusual but nice winter beer!
