Description
The idea of having our own brewery has been in our heads since we launched our first beer, The Black Pot, but we really started thinking about it in the beginning of 2018.

Living in a small town near the Ceahlau mountain means fresh air, great views, many things to do (especially in summer) but there is not much social life. So, this was our first question: build a brewery in the area through which we make the decision to stay here or move to a big city where you have many more opportunities, give up on this idea / dream and continue life? You already know the answer… 😊

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 18/06/21. Black with a decent tan covering that settles to a swirl. Nose is chocolate, bitter roast, charr, spice, light herb, burnt toffee, soy sauce. Taste comprises dark chocolate, dark malts, roasted bite, coffee, touch of bourbon, spice. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a blast of alcohol. Not bad but a little unrefined.
