Panda thanks to Cloin. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth rich dark chocolate malts, a little dark malt cream. Nice fruity rounded bourbon. Finishes with a really nice creamy dark malt and a trace of maple. Very very drinkalble.

Can at the H10 Hotel, Urquinaona Barcelona, from Bier Cab shop 08/03/24. Black with a good sized khaki head. Nose carries a big bourbon waft, spice, charr, dark malts, chocolate pot, toffee fudge. Taste comprises dark malts, spice, chocolate, subtle enough well balanced maple syrup ... not going silly sweet or taking over, ripe old bourbon rip, dried fruit rinds, roasted bite, toffee, hint of coffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost and balanced bourbon cloak. Solid kit.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Big bourbon-focused nose with oak, vanilla, prune and rich cacao nib. More of the same on the palate. Lingering bourbon, vanilla and dark chocolate. Transient can do no wrong with stouts.
