Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 24/12/24. Black with a tan cap that thins to the edge. Nose is punchy rum, molasses, herb, black peppery spice, dark malts, charr, light perfume. Taste comprises Turkish delight, chocolate, perfume, raspberry jam, modest barrel, dark malts. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alchol. A little messy this one and far from cohesive ... flabby in places, overly sweet and perfumed and lacking any rum punch. So so.
