Struise Pannepot

Brewed by De Struise Brouwers
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Oostvleteren, Belgium

sweet dark malty,red/brown, brown foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, medium body, oily feel, soft carbonation.

A dark and even for Belgian beers rather sweet beer. The taste is full of raisins, dark prune and burned notes. It’s smooth and gentle and might go well with some (not too sweet) dessert.

A beautiful one. So dense and velvety. It is syrupy sweet and delicius. It is remind me of nutwine. The nose is fantastic. Dark fruits ans spices smells. It slips into the groove without difficulty. Very delicate body.

Beer at its best. Aroma is a complex sweet one with spices, caramel, chocolate, coffee, raisin, and a slight sense of vanilla. Pours with a nice tanned head and ruby, brownish color. Tastes medium sweet, almost like a dessert beer. Medium body with creamy texture and a well-balanced carbonation. Overall my favorite, and will be hard to beat. A well deserved Thank you goes to De Struise Brouwers.

33cl bottle vintage 2007. Gusher. Deep black color with a creamy brown head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is full of dried fruits with malts and some touches of pepercake and bread. Taste is sweet and malty with chocolate, coffee and touches of dried fruits and hops. The aftertaste is light bitter with some sweet pepercake and coffee. Mouthfeel is smooth and sticky with decent carbonization. The flavors are perfectly balanced. The mother of one of the greatest beer series in the world! Magnificent!

This is the 2008 vintage. Pours dark brown, almost black with one inch tan head that fades at a decent pace. Nose is amazing, complex dark malt with deep, vinous, dried fruits, some chocolate and coffee, bready malt, and some spices, light rum notes and a light oak character with mild soy sauce and light alcohol. In the mouth, deep fruits, caramel sweetness with some bitter chocolate on the swallow and a light, lingering sweetness and a mild tingling burn on the tongue. This is an incredible beer, though I prefer the Grand Reserva.

Egészen sötétvörös színe van, még a lámpa elé tartva is alig lehet átlátni rajta.Közepesen nagy,világosbarna hab gerjed rajta kitöltés közben,ami nem tart ki sokáig,de azért egy kis csipke terítőt hagy a sör tetején.Illata édeskés,gyógyfüves,gyümölcsös és egy picit tejcsokis.Igen összetett és különleges íze van.Ott van az alkohol édessége a komló kesernyéssége,házi szilvalekvár,karamellás étcsokoládé és egy csipet kávé.Ezek kergetőznek egymást váltva a szájban,miközben kellemesen csipkednek az apró buborékok.Közepesen testes és az alkohol tartalom finoman melegít és zsibbaszt.Utóíze medvecukros,kesernyés és kiszárítja a szájpadlásunkat.Egy igazi klasszis,remek választás egy fárasztó nap után relaxáláshoz vagy egy jó könyvhöz. / Én éppen a "Maláta" antológiát olvasgatom mellette. /

The color is very brown almost black. The head is creamy and rather modest. The sweet aroma offers hard roasted malt and plums. In the taste there are notes of hard roasted malt, plums, sourish berries, banana, liquorice and a little touch of forest floor. The alcohol gives a rounded warmth like with a good sherry. The mouthfeel is soft and very full-bodied. This is nothing but worldclass. Pannepot is fully up to the hights of westvleteren 12.
