Panda thanks to Cloin. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Pretty thin palate for the style, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin dark malts, some cocoa bitterness, earthy coffee that is a little tangy and a little bitter. Touch of ripe fruits. Light crispy finish. On the right day and the right circumstances, I might like this more. In a cold wet February evening, it's a just forgettable.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Dark glossy brown. Beige head. Aroma has dark coffee, berries, booze and a hint of vanilla. Flavourwise it's got dsrk chocolate mocha, slightly tart berries and tobacco. Vanilla, Turkish Delight and nuts in the undertow. Medium bodied. Oily. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Good stuff for sure.
