Panda thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, small and short lived tan head. A fairly light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts but light mouthfeel, good dark chocolate liqueur. Some fudge and toffee but not at all over sweet. The bourbon barrelling is suitably ripe fruity and brings a lively alcohol spice. Smooth and semi dry finish with a good boozy vibe. Nice to encounter Pipeworks again and in good form.

Lemon and some light leather. Mostly just tangy. Hazy orange pour with great head and lacing. Not sure how well this hits style. Can.

16 oz can from the Dojo.Golden pour kicking up a foamy head. A lot of bits floating around in the glass, like an unfiltered Bell's. The nose throws out some nice cinnamon and a bit of vanilla. Catching some clear horchata in the taste. I might have thought any rice would ferment out, but the flavor is there, perhaps aided by lactose. Still some malt and a slight hop at the sides of the palate. Enjoyable summer quaff. Don't know how horchata is supposed to team with Mexican food, frankly, but I'd suggest it as a compliment to any spicy or meaty food.
