Panda, thanks to Wingman. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Light and smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin feeling dark malts for the style but I don't feel short changed a single penny on the flavour front. A rich and sweet mix of dark and milk chocolate syrupy goodness. Chocolate cake. Tastes like someone threw a fair dose of chilli in here, the back end bites! Fruity chocolate and spicy linger. Nice mix of chocolate and spice. Well, very nice actually.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 07/07/24. Black with a light tan head that thins to spotting. Nose is dark malts, tobacco, nutty, roasted tones, cocoa powder, dried red berries, toffee. Taste comprises chocolate, green chilli, herb, dark malts, roast, spice, molasses, dried berries. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a spike of alcohol and modest chilli heat. Hmmm ... passable ... a touch disjointed for me.

16 oz. can. Nice chocolate milk and Coca-Cola nose. Thick tan foamy head over a brownish black body. Taste is some great sweet chocolate, cinnamon, and, somehow, some cherry. The habanero only comes in an a chile afterburn once the first sips are swallowed. Spice, chocolate and fizz in just the right proportion!
