0,275l bottle at home during Charity Tasting. Black color, small tan head. Smells soy sauce, bitter chocolate, nutty, spices. Nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes soy sauce, peppery, toffee, bit smoky, oxidized, some bitter chocolate. Finishes lightly sweet with notes of soy sauce, peppery and sherry. Nice one overall, very old school

Bottle, 275 ml at charity tasting in Wien. Dark brown with no head. Chocolate and bourbon, balanced and some cocoa, just a tad thin in finish.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 28/01/2025.
Hazed chestnut brown topped with a lasting light beige head, lacing ensues.
Nose is orange zest, brown bread, dark malts, fruit cake mix, dates, figs, toffee.
Taste comprises dark malts, spice, booze tunes, dates, caramel, orange peel, cacao nibs, stewed fruits, raisins.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol.
Tidy sipper ... I don't tend to get on with orange flavours in beers in general but this one was fairly well integrated.

A mild haze on this amber beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, decent fine carbonation, good enough for this barleywine. Soft but rich caramel and cream malts. A nice ripe orange vibe, slightly floral. The added karakas (hello Gary, are you out there somewhere mate?) integrates pretty well. Airy smooth finish, leaves a mildly bitter toffee linger. A light and simple barleywine that drinks very easy.

Keg at Briarbank’s 2024 Summer Beer Festival with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is orange, whisky, woody, toffee, butter cream, fruity and vanilla. A bit of sweetness and very good body. Very smooth and very enjoyable.
