Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 13/07/2025.
Pitch black topped with a khaki cap that soon veers to the edge.
Nose is mellow barrel vanilla, chocolate melt, light coffee grinds, toasted brown sugars.
Taste comprises chocolate, brown sugar melt, molasses, toffee fudge, candied fruit rinds, mellow well integrated barrel tones.
Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Tidy sipper.

Bottle. Opaque black brown beer, small and short lived bubbly tan head. Smooth viscous palate, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Chewy dark malt, dark chocolate and big dark fudge that never gets too sweet. A mild savoury element before thick ripe bourbon barrel aged ripe fruits syrup. Smooth finish. Wonderfully and satisfyingly intense and chewy, as always with Transient. Really something that satisfies at every intense mouthfull.

Cloudy medium orange body, thin off-white head. Sticky, juicy, tropical nose. Body is crisp with leafy notes and muted stone fruits; a pronounced bitterness is the most distinctive element. Hints of bubblegum or candy in the finish. A mixed bag.

tap at taphouse,june 2025. Extremely solid chocolate aroma. Tons of layers of dark chocolate. Might be more chocolate than chocolate rain
The chocolate aroma is like heats of shredded 75% dark good chocolate.
Flavor is pastry and chocolate. Waffles and butter joint the party which is not too crowded. Aroma was the best with this one. Extraordinarily sweet and hard to find the roasted malty notes
Bottle from kihoskh, "2024 vintage"
aroma is heavy dark chocolate cake, chocolate cream, vanilla flavored pastry. cake frosting after a while. quite chocolate forward, but the chocolate cake kind of chocolate aroma. adjusted aroma from 8.5 to 7.5
poured extremely dark brown with a thick pour and settled pitch black with a dark brown head that did not last long. appearance changed from 6 to 7. Flavor is dark chocolate, dark chocolate dessert, peppery note that blends with the alcohol, some sweeter notes resembling the caramelish things in toblerone, cake frosting, the roasted malts are hard to find, drowned by all the chocolatey notes. although intense, the chocolate does not really taste gourmet or fine - also very faint but disturbing burnt or bitter caramelly notes. flavor changed from 6 to 7. soft velvety thick texture, stays at 8, overall increase from 7.0 to 7.5
