Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 20/05/2025.
Light shade of black topped with a tan cap that dissipates to a spiders web swirl.
Nose is chocolate, earthy roast, herb, umami notes.
Taste comprises dark malts, dried fruit rinds, miso tang, toffee, cocoa powder.
Medium bodied, with bite fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boost.
It's fine but a bit boring.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 19/05/2025.
Deep copper to amber topped with a lasting beige head.
Nose is barrel first, caramel wafer, light bourbon nip, dried fruit esters.
Taste comprises caramel, old skool DIPA vibes, candied orange peel, bourbon nip but overlaid with a more complex wine barrel tang.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close packing a balanced rising boost.
Fun sipper ... probably call this a strong ale stylistically over any DIPA!

Bottle, seems to have been intended for New Year's Eve. bb 11/25. Almost clear amber with a dense white cm of head. Aroma of singed toffee and white grapes, hints of champagne breadiness. Sweet, smooth despite medium high carbonation. Alcohol drifts just beneath the surface. Brioche, grapes, grassy bitterness. Not very saisonish at all but good.

Bottle @ Mathews Tasting. Pours reddish dark coffee brown with medium off-white head. Aroma is intense cocoa, dark chocolate, dry tobacco, ground coffee, cherry seeds, and black tea. Taste is very sweet, and light to medium bitter. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of prunes, raisins, dark chocolate, cocoa, cream, oak and vanilla. Excellent beer. Very sad that they are closing down the brewery.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
