Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 30/11/22. Black with a good sized lasting khaki head. Nose is chocolate cup cake mix, toffee fudge, vanilla, marshmallow. Taste comprises sweet malts, brown sugar melt, S'Mores, chocolate melt, dark malts, light pinch of spice, toffee fudge. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a spike of alcohol. Tidy enough impy stout, a touch on the sweet side for my liking and a little 1D but sips easy for 11%.

Taster pour from a can at The Beer Store. It's an inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma and taste are similar with taste being stronger. Earthy, peaty quality to the malts with a vegetal bent late--somewhat different. Dark chocolate, nuts, coffee. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice all around and somewhat different.

Bottle. Pours copper with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is bourbon, dark fruit, wood, molasses. Slick body, raisin, molasses, wood, boozy finish, very nice.
