Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a light mahogany colored body that has thin deep copper hued edges and supporting a nice tan foam head. The aroma offers up a boozy leading quickly to boozed infused coconut, chocolate and then some coffee like nuttiness. The taste is similar where boozy heat hits up front and flows the length of the experience. I also get a tasty layer of chocolate, nuttiness, some vanilla and then coconut coated thinly in caramel. This is pretty nice but doesn't come together as well as it could have. Fine sipper nonetheless.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 16/03/24. Black topped with a tan cap. Nose is chocolate shavings, dark malts, roasted tones, hint of coffee, faint coconut. Taste comprises chocolate, light spice, booze tunes, roast malts, toffee, molasses, charr. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Tidy enough impy stout.
