Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a deep dark colored body that has mahogany hued edges and supports a tiny light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up just loads of coconut with just brief whiffs of chocolate and dry nuttiness around the edges. The taste delivers a Force 5 level of sweetness quickly ushering in sweet malts, sweetened chocolate, sweetened coconut punctuated by thin sweetened nuttiness. Wow this is sweet and the big ABV doesn't provide nearly enough booze burn to create really any balance. Almost too sweet to finish.

Taste comprises coconut shavings, chocolate pot, brown sugar melt, toffee fudge, balanced bourbon kiss. Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid pastry affair.
