Panda to home, thanks to SHIG, 29/07/20. Clear reddish amber with a cap formed of just off white bubbles. Nose is treacle toffee, biscuit malts, dried fruits, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises fruit slice, caramel, light leafy hop presence, biscuit crumbs, toasted grains, light candied fruit rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent for the style.

25/7/2020. Bottle from Beer Cockermouth (beergb.com), and shared with the SHIG at our second Cumbrian bottle share. Pours clear dark amber with a bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma of spicy hops, malt, toffee, fruit and biscuit. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, average to soft carbonation. Earthy finish. Best of the day for me.

Bottle from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - deep brown to black and opaque. Fawn head. Nose - black jacks, light smoke. Taste - molasses, liquorice and more smoke. Palate - close to medium bodied. Dry, roasty middle and finish. Overall - not sure it's a black IPA, but it is a good dry stout.

Bottle from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - golden and bright. Thin lacing. Nose - honey and lemon. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied and reasonably fresh on the finish though would like a little more bitterness. Overall - it's fine. Very much like others in the style.
