Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear but very dark brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, modest fine carbonation, fine for this style. Smooth dark malts, a little creamy cakey dark chocolate goes well with the soft peaty ripe fruity whiskey barrel. Light touch of candy fruits. Not too heavy on the band aids which is a boon to me. Pretty rich and for me, surprisingly drinkable.

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Slightly unclear orange color, average sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly rye in there? Nice hoppy, sticky hops. Old school BW. Love it. Good sticky hops and firm to heavy bitter finish. Good stuff! 7-8-8-8-8,5

500 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.0%. Opaque and yellow thick smoothie texture, no head. Lots of pulp in the mouthfeel. Aroma and flavour of mango, peach and passionfruit, moderately sour (lactic acid), distinctly sweet and fruity throughout. There is nothing here (except the alcohol) to remind you that this is a beer, but it sure is a splendid fruit smoothie.
