Panda thanks to Cloin. Opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, soft, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a nice dark malt cream, oaty dark chocolate liqueur. Rich bourbon soaked ripe fruits. A little alcohol spice. Rich finish. Yeah, nothing unusual but hugely drinkable.

Bottle. Color: Black, very thin brown head. Aroma: Sweet, chocolate fudge, roasted malt, some spicy rye. Taste: Very dense mouthfeel, full body. Low carbonation. Sweetish, boozy, some vanilla, hints of liquorice, roasted malt, chocolate fudge, spicy rye notes. Hoppy backbone. Intense. Slow sipper pur sang. Over medium sweet, moderate to over moderate hopbitterness.

Bottle from BiervanEijk, Steenwijk. Rather thick with loads of dark chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, some coffee, and smooth balanced rye whiskey to top it off. Medium sweet with a moderate bitterness and less booze in the finish than you'd expect from the 14%. Full and a bit sticky. Top tier stuff.
