Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 19/11/21. Extremely dark mahogany brown verging on light black topped with a tan cap formed of small bubbles. Nose is big on peanut butter fumes, chocolate, light roast, dark malts, nutty, caramel. Taste comprises light roast, milk chocolate, peanut butter fudge, sugars, praline, nutty. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Solid PNB affair ... strikes a good balance without ever getting too sweet.
