Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 10/06/21. Light black merging to extremely dark mahogany brown with a moderately appointed beige cap. Nose is tarte red berry fruits, funk, damp cloth, barnyard esters, vinous twang, herbal. Taste comprises dried fruit rinds, hint of cocoa powder, dusty, light spice, damp hay, stale brown bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light acidic tinge. Passable sour ... a touch disjointed and lacking any depth to the flavour.
