Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Black with an uneven brown head. Sour aroma of whisky with molasses, salted caramel, chocolate fudge. Taste starts sweet with the sourness of the whisky leading to an intensely bitter finish. Gritty malt notes and impenetrable molasses also hang about in the aftertaste. Thick body with carbonation on the low side. Damn.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 09/07/22. Light black with a good sized lasting khaki head. Nose is mellow roast, cocoa powder, charr, dried fruit rinds, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises ashen tones, charr, cocoa sprinkle, toffee, biscuit, raisins. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation - over carbed for me lose a point, semi drying close. Ok porter let down largely by its over carbed nature.

Gravity cask at the 2022 Rutland CAMRA Festival, Rutland County Museum, Oakham. Dark gold and clear. Big malty aroma with stone fruit and biscuity malts. Sweet boozy taste with more stone fruit to the long finish. Big oily body, soft carbonation. Lovely.

4/5/2022. Can shared by SHIG, cheers. Pours slightly hazy dark gold with a small short lasting white head. Aroma is wheaty, herbal, floral, botanicals, orange, stewed fruit. Medium sweetness with moderate developing bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery mouthfeel, quite fizzy. Not a fan.

Panda at home, thanks to Danlo, 12/06/22. Black with a good sized tan covering that dissipates edgewards. Nose is dark malts, spice, mellow barrel, toffee, dark fruit rinds, dates, booze tunes. Taste comprises dark fruit rinds, spice, treacle toffee, brown sugar scattering, bourbon barrel, oak, booze. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid easy drinking impy stout ... good balance to the bourbon and sips very easily for 11.5%.
