Panda thanks to Ibrew2or3: Poured thick oil sludge black with a bubble to no brown head. Aroma is spicy, chocolate, vanilla bean, rich malts, faint cinnamon, cocoa. Taste is chocolate and vanilla, cinnamon and spice, rich roasted malts, fruity, boozy, very warming to the palate.

Pint can pours with a with a body that has a deep dark void of darkness that supports no head at all. A swirl of the beer leaves a lasting brown stain to the inside of the glass. The aroma initially pummels with sweet smelling chocolate fudge, chocolate cake and then the blunted bourbon barrel treatment rimmed thinly with a dark berry sensation and murmurs of winter spices. The taste delivers loads of slick malt sweetened dark chocolate flowing into increasing booziness as mild winter spices and a hint of vanilla are noticed. To midway supple bourbon barrel and a sort of a raspberry character comes forward as the booziness hits its peak and stays there into the finish. As the flavors fade there's a pleasing chili pepper warmth creating a fuzzy level of comfort. Great bold deep rich sipper.
