Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Black brown colour with reddish tinge, thin beige foam head and aroma of roast malt, molasses, dried fruit, chocolate & coffee. Taste is smooth roasty malt, caramel, brown sugar, sultanas, with chocolate & coffee notes, wood barrel and earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying woody roasty bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Can. Color: Black, light brown head. Aroma: Peated Whiskey. Taste: Peated Whiskey overwhelming roasted malt. A lot of peat. Hints of nuts, almond. I'm a peat lover, so not complaining, but not that balanced. Some hints of coffee at the finish. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Over moderate sweet, moderate bitterness.

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.
