Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 11/04/21. This is the beer that pushes me into Ratebeers top 10 raters ... dunno how long that will last but nice to have been there along with the other awkward OCD number crunchers! Deep amber with an off white head that veers edgeward. Nose is nutty, biscuit malt, toffee, brown sugars. Taste comprises sweet malts, dried fruits, biscuit, toffee, brown sugar scattering. Medium to light bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. A little thin and wanting overall. Time for a decent whisky to sign off the weak end!
