Panda from tank, enormous thanks to some anonymous benefactor from Petalax, Finland whose box arrived to my doorstep. The doorstep being that of my apartment building, not mine did not bother the delivery man, so it got pillaged, but this was left for some reason. The reason is, probably, the fact that that what seeped from and dried all over the seemingly hastily sealed (or resealed?) tupperwhale cork looks suspiciously like dried blood and the contents look suspiciously like non-dried blood. With a distinct lack of head. Flat, this is, but oh boy, this has certainly seen a lot of mustamakkara action, enhanced by all that perfumey wood of Sorachi. Of course Finland's answer to the pastry fad would be charcuterie. The vanilla's there, balancing out the metallic and tart berry notes with that. A masterpiece of modern brewing and a hearty meal in one. Kiitos! Recommended musical background: https://vimeo.com/50465088
