Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 18/01/24. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a beige cap that veers edgewards. Nose is fruit rinds, toffee, vinous, earthy, soy sauce, like Kenny says ... aged smell about it ... you know - the typical aroma of a Leighton tasting beer! Taste comprises sweet malts, figs, liquid fruit cake, the aged notes have gone and it now shows its freshness, toffee, spice, vinous, figgy jam, vanilla, cocoa sprinkle, caramelised brown sugars. Full bodied, fine carbonation with a light oily mouthfeel, semi drying close with a spike of alcohol. Solid sipper.

Almost opaque dark brown beer, a few fine tan bubbles never comes close to forming a head. The nose reminds me of 100s of 1970s and 1980s bottles of beer that have been opened over the last 15 years. Aged caramel malt. Smooth and slightly soft palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. The aged malt nose follows in to the taste but is richer, rounder and paradoxically, fresher. A little ripe fruits before a light and semi dry finish. Different. Really tastes like it could have been brewed when Wilson was prime minister, but that isn't a bad thing at all. An unusual stylistic choice but fine by me.
