Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a clear copper colored body that supports a thing ring of off white bubbles of foam. The aroma offers up booze, bourbon, oak and then murmurs of malts and dark fruity esters. The taste delivers smooth sweet slick malts ringed thinly by sweet honey drizzled fig and plum like sweet dark fruity esters. To midway a moderate level of barrel character begins to move forward with a smooth note of supple bourbon leading to growing booziness. In the background are modest spicy oakiness creating a little more depth. Nice sipper.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a clear deep copper colored body that has mahogany hues and a tiny ring of white foam bubbles. The aroma offers up boozy bourbon, spicy oak, spicy hops, pine and woody like hops and then a faint softer dark fruity ester sensation. The taste delivers a rich blend of sweet supple malts, muted bitter pine hops, a woody hoppiness and then quickly picking up fairly smooth bourbon booze. In between those notes are thin layers of sweet caramel caramelization infused sweet dark fruity esters. Hovering above all else is a well integrated cloud of booziness helping to drive home the big ABV feel. This is working well as the flavor is deep and rich and integrated yum.
