Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb and Stuu666. Pours dark brown with a short-lived thin off-white head. Aromas of mulled wine spice and dark roast malt. Taste is more of the same, liquorice. Spice more present on the nose than the taste. Thin finish.

Bottle. Flat looking black beer with a light head. The aroma is roasted with a touch of ginger, whilst the flavour is roasted and quite bitter with a more strongly ginger element culminating with heat on the palate. Overall a reasonable dark ginger beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask hand pump at the Trafford Arms - Norwich. Pours clear brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds toasty bread, impressions of cocoa. Light sweet flavor with mellow dried fruits, berries, plum, soft cocoa, hints of earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation; great nick. Balanced finish with more toasted brown bread, suggestions of toffee and chocolate, more ripe, lightly dried fruits. A classically styled mild.

Gravity cask at the Drayman’s Son, Ely. Dark gold with a spotting of white head. Very slight grainy and grassy scent, with only the slightest suggestion of soft citrus fruit. Taste is pleasant, sweet and spicy, slightly medicinal with a hint of ginger. Finish is more bitter, slightly sour, to round it off nicely. The best of Panther’s beers that I’ve had so far.

Bottle from 3@3, Ely, drunk at home. Pours amber/golden brown. Opaque, cloudy. Not much head at all. Lots and lots of sediment. Weird bouquet: bubblegum, caramel malt, leather, baby wipes, overripe tropical fruit, cola nut. Tastes a lot better than it smells. Sweet and malty, slightly fruity, but then there’s a bitter-ish funky note near the finish. Cola and hazelnut in the aftertaste. A mess, no two ways about it. But it’s borderline drinkable (although I’m not sure I’d want another one anytime soon).
