Bottle pour. Nutty nose, almost like amaretto. Sweet, boozy, nuts, almond, dark chocolate, honey. Good stuff.

750ml thanks to Mark. It pours cloudy red with a fizzy dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, funky, tangy, sherbet, tangy raspberry, jammy, victoria sponge cake, crunchy red apple, vinous, funk and vinous vibes. The taste is crisp, dry, sweet - sour, juicy, jammy, tangy, big raspberry vibes, sherbet, victoria sponge cake, red apple, red grape, nice puckering vibes, fizzy candy, vague hint of acidity and touch of natural yoghurt with tangy rapsberry finish. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Rounded, fruity and moreish. Drinks far too easy.

Sample from bottle @ Pien, Helsinki. Sweetish, heavy and roasty with some whisky, vanilla, loads of marzipan, honeycomb and nutty notes. A bit unbalanced, too much marzipan.

Bottle big thanks to Mark. It pours oily jet black with a dark tan head. The aroma is sweet, perfumed, toasted pistachio, pistachio cake, vanilla, damp oak, Turkish delight, nougat, toasted marshmallow, coconut and chocolate covered everything. The taste is bitter - sweet, toasty, slick, rich, charred, toothy, chewy, chocolate cake, sticky, damp oak, pistachio cake, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, tannin, rocky road, touch of warming alcohol and the whisky is probably in there somewhere but to me it is muted. Fulsome body and decent carbonation. Slick and thick mouth feel. Big and rich, but actually a bit more drinkable than I thought it would be. Decent.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 30/08/21. Deep rhubarb red with a good sized crimson covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is sweet berry fruits, grass, honey, blackcurrant pips. Taste comprises blackcurrant Lockets, sweet malts, berry pips, grass, vanilla, sweet berry compote. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a tangy berry close. Decent fruit profile on this one.
