Cremiger, ziemlich süßer Beginn, Kokos, Zimt, Whisky, Holznoten, zuckrig. Die Süße bleibt intensiv und stört auch etwas, unsüffig, klebrig. Nett, nicht ganz harmonisch. 9/10/9/10/8/9

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 04/12/2025.
Pitch black topped with a dirty tan cap that dissipates to a swirl and heads to the edge.
Nose is decadent chocolate, ripe dried fruit esters, bourbon splashdown, molasses, toasted brown sugars.
Taste comprises dark malts, molasses, vanilla, chocolate, mellow bourbon, light spice balance.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Just a light tangy edge to the flavour profile lets this one down a little. Tidy enough BA impy.

Bottle shared. Opaque black color, small brown lacing. Aroma is sweet dark sugary, perhaps maple. Flavor is initially.very sweet as well, but with a coffee sourish roasty finish. Hmm not a fan of these beers, too heavy and mix of cloying sweetness with coffee sourness, nah not my thing. 8-4-6-8-6

500 ml bottle from the BA Big Beer box. Aroma has notes of chocolate, plum, English dark beer. Pours inky black with no head, just a thin collar of beige foam. Taste is highly sweet and roasty with flavors like the aroma; tastes of oxidation. Very rich.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan head that dissipates quickly. Apple Brandy notes on the nose with bourbon, oak and dark chocolate. Palate is similar with lots of apple brandy, bourbon, chocolate and dark fruit. Smooth finish with great barrel character. Killer stuff!
