Opaque colour, tiny brownish head. Cocoa, vanilla, alcohol in the sweetish nose. Full-bodied. Cocoa, bourbon vanilla, cold coffee, loads of booze. Rough and boozy.

330ml bottle. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of vanilla, chocolate, coffee. Taste is rich, sweet, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, bourbon, light alcohol warmth. Medium bodied, smooth. Really lovely stout, but it's on the sweet side as expected. Tone it down and this would be ideal.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 25/08/2025.
Black topped with a fast escaping tan head.
Nose is chocolate, toffee, molasses, brown sugar melt.
Taste comprises chocolate, coffee, light spice, dark malts, brown sugars, toffee.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow boost.
Okay sipper if a touch overly sweet and lacking depth.

Near opaque dark brown beer, small and very short lived tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, decent fine carbonation. Viscous dark malts, dark chocolate liqueur. Little vanilla, a little caramel. Bourbon soaked ripe fruits, a little bourbon spice. Tangy burned vanilla on the smooth finish. Rich, for me, could me a tad sweeter.
