Panda thanks to Ibrew2or3: Poured dark brown to almost black with a beige colored head. Aroma is rich and roasty, boozy, dark fruits, estery, earthy, figs and raisin. Taste is very rich roasted malt forward, chewy, dark fruits, figs, burnt caramel, raisins. Alcohol is hidden, but warms the mouth in the finish.

50cl bottle pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a full deep tan head of foam. The aroma offers up full up date to fig to over ripe plum like fruity esters as well as murmurs of caramel, brown sugar and booze. The taste feels far too easy to crush as I initially get just smooth modest sweet fruity esters surrounded by a brief thin booziness. Upon deeper inspection I get plum to fig to date like sweet fruity esters dusted with brown sugar. To midway it picks up some mild sweet caramel, molasses and then modest booziness. This is smooth and integrated but only modestly deep and complex, which can be fine. Nice sipper.
