Panda from Colin. Cheers. Dark and glossy brown. No head. Aroma is sweet and boozy. Is that peat? Also Dark fruit and molasses. Flavourwise it mirrors the aroma. Datk fruit and molasses. Coffee too. A boozy bite with an element of sweetness and smokiness. Thick. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

Can. Color: Black, brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt combined with fruity Cognac, grapes. Taste: Well balanced mix of roasted malt, fruity Cognac, almond, some chocolate and liquorice. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet, over moderate bitterness. Smooth, lightly creamy body. Boozy hints, lightly warming and lightly sticky mouthfeel. Very nice

Sweetish, slightly roasty and creamy with some hints of vanilla, coconut, oak, stingy wood and licoricey earthiness, hints of chocolate and coffee. Light bodied, but otherwise quite balanced
