Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Brum. Wowee. Magnificent. So smooth - the burnished caramelised medicinal bitters are creeping, balanced and lip smacking. Easy drinking. Fabulous.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
2008 bottle Grand Reserva ’Vintage’ 33 cl ("Limited edition of 30HI / 2 year") purchased in Brussels. This one is a bit too old. Aroma and flavor is somewhat flat. Light oxidation is evident. Oak is character nearly gone, but finish is somewhat brandy-like. Either handled improperly, or a bit past its prime. I can taste the potential, though - wish I had it a year ago!
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
2008 Vintage - Pours a dark red-brown color with minimal head. The aroma is tight. Sweet, but not overly complex. I thought maybe it was too cold, but it never opened as it warmed. On the palate however, the beer is quite interesting. Raisins, cola, caramel, and stewed apples make for a decadent treat. The barrel is only minimally evident.

2008-vintage. Farven er mørkebrun, nær sort. Smaken minner vagt om portvin, og brygget helt latterlig godt balansert. Som fløyel. Toner av toffee og mørk moden frukt. Jeg vet ikke om noe kan smake "estetisk", men denne gjør i så fall akkurat det. Bryggekunst.

Dark tan head. Very mild aroma compared with other pannepots. Taste is rich fruits. Not as much clarity as the basic pannepot. Palate is not too cloying. Nice. Overall, didn’t blow me away as expected.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours hazy dark copper brown with airy light tan head. Dark aroma of malt, caramel and dried fruity with vinous notes. Sour, vinous flavour, giving way to malty sweetness, ending on a roasty note. Boozy aftertaste. Quite Decent.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
2005 bottling. Dark brown pour with a very minimal tan head. Barnyard, licorice, brown sugar and stewed prune on the nose. It has such a rich impression. On the palate there’s cooked red fruit, molasses and brown sugar and myriad other things, leather. Incredibly complex. The body is pretty full and silky smooth.
