Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a deep dark colored body that supports a thin mocha colored head of bubbly foam. The aroma offers up boozy chocolate German cake followed by some malts infused with bourbony booze and faint dark fruity like esters. The taste delivers similar notes as my palate is pounced on by a fair load of bourbon booze infused chocolate and growing sweetness. To midway the sweetness gives a little ground to a nice integrated smooth sweet cherry fruit sensation that's working well here. Solid stuff with a nice barrel treatment to beer flavor balance.
