Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 03/08/2025.
Pitch black topped with a handsome dirty tan covering ... a good looking bier for sure.
Nose is liquid fruit cake, chocolate, sultanas, brown sugar melt, spice, bourbon rip.
Taste comprises dark malts, figs, ripe fruits, bourbon, molasses, brown sugar melt, toffee, caramel, light spice.
Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Not had a Transient offering for a while and this was bang on the money, rich, luxurious, punchy, balanced.
Class in a glass!
