0.33 l can from 'Rebelbeercans', best before June 2027. Hazy, reddish amber with a large, dense, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity and a bit roastyaroma of caramel, nuts, some whisky and light red fruits. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity and a bit roasty taste of caramel, chocolate, toasted nuts, some whisky and light red fruits, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, a little woody-dry finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent ale, very well-balanced.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Dark and glossy brown. Foamy dark beige head. Aroma has sherry booziness with soft berries over creamy coffee and nuts. Flavourwise there's initial sweetness - cream liqour - with a berry sherry edge. Molasses. Fruit cake. A boozy nip. Medium bodied. Creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Yep.

Oily texture

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Dark and glossy. Brown tinge. Short-lived foamy tan head. Aroma has sweet whisky with a mocha streak. Tbe barrel doesn't overpower the beer - the whiskey is evident but alongside dark chocolate and espresso. Chewy. Medium bodied. Creamy. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry gradually more obviously astringent finish. I like.
