Panther Ginseng Stout

Now here's a name that fires up the imagination.

What self-respecting man (or indeed lady) among us doesn't want to fire up on stout and ginseng at once, those undisputed twin towers of pantherdom?

This has the characters for 人参 on the label which means 'carrot' in Japanese. We'll take their word for it being 'ginseng'. Flavour wise you probably wouldn't pick it, although there is a slightly mineral sort of edge in there amongst the light coffee roast flavours that could be a mark of its influence.

There's not a lot more to say about this. Far from ripping us a proverbial new one, it goes down without so much as a mew. 2.5
