Panda thanks to Wingman. Pretty much an opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly darkish tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Rich dark malts, a good dark chocolate, slightly earthy. Good fruity bourbon, rich and ripe and very mildly spicy. A vague notion of maple on the back end, not sure I would have spotted it without for knowledge. A sound Impy.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 30/01/25.
Lighter shade of black with a fast collapsing beige head.
Nose is fruit cake mix, dates, chocolate, brown sugar melt, vanilla, mellow barrel notes.
Taste comprises dark fruit rinds, bourbon, spice, oak, molasses, brown sugar melt, figs, faint maple presence ... well tempered, booze tunes, toffee crisp.
Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Solid BA strong.
