Commercial Description:
Pandan Ale represents a major advancement in Asian style beers. It is a complex brown ale brewed with crystal, chocolate, and honey malts. We have also given it a Southeast Asian flair by adding palm sugar and pandan , a nutty and fragrant leaf. Pandan, also known as bai toey (Thai) and lá dua (Vietnamese), is considered an essential ingredient to Southeast Asian rice dishes and cakes. This is a truly unique and flavorful beer that you will enjoy. Pandan Ale is a dark, full-bodied beer that will complement spicy Thai and Indian curries, as well as savory Filipino and Indonesian stews.

Received 22-oz bomber via trade with 5000. Pours a semi-clear dark brown amber colored brew with a thick beige head that slowly dissipates to a thin off-white head and some spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted nuts with caramel and Munich dark malts, some light chocolate and bread crust. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of toasted dark biscuit bread, roasted nuts, a hint of brown sugar and light chocolate. Finish is semi-dry with a toasted dark malt aftertaste that slowly disappears.

Bottled as Laughing Buddha Pandan Brown Ale... Poured a deep rosy brown with a beige head. Rich, toasted aroma with chocolates, nuts and mile spices complementing some barley. Easy feeling palate with flavors similar to the aroma but a really nice sweetness and roasted finish to balance it all out. I need to get more brews from these guys.
