"This is actually only the fourth stout being reviewed here on the blog. The other three are Sri Lanka, Israel and Malaysia. The beer is dark black in colour with a thin boozy dark brown lacing on top. It smells of coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is slightly thin due to the lower ABV. The taste is sweet and roasty with a hint of coconut. Some bitter roastiness towards the end before it finishes on the sweet note." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

Panda at home thanks to Cloin. Pours very dark red brown with a light tan head that fades. Aroma chocolate, roast malt, coconut, dried fruit. Taste is chocolate, coconut, caramel, dried fruit, roast malt. Bitter roast finish with a hint of sweetness. Decent enough and nice it's not a pale lager.
