Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a mahogany colored body with deep copper hues and supporting a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate covered marshmallow, some oak, tight bourbon and then some soft maltiness. The taste delivers smoothly growing chocolate notes mixed with growing booze and boozy barrel character. To midway chocolate and boozy bourbon mingle and pick up a modest sweet dark fruity ester note and takes it into the finish. Fun beer.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 14/03/24. Lighter shade of black with a good sized lasting khaki head. Nose is dark malts, fruit cake mix, toffee, bourbon nip mellow roasted notes, dates, cacao nibs. Taste comprises candied fruit rinds, chocolate shavings, good balanced bourbon bite, hint of coffee, dates, raisins, toffee, light roast. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Tidy well balanced and easy sipping impy stout blend.

Tasty blend, nowhere near as sweet as expected, instead coming across remarkably balanced between the three styles. Notes of candi sugar and dried fruit play against bitter chocolate and molasses, with a gentle caramel vein leading to a boozy, bourbon-soaked finish. Shit, if you’re celebrating ten years, I can’t think of a better pint for the big toast. Good beer.
