2006 bottle served at 52*F. Pours with a largish, rocky, light brown head covering an extremely dark brown body. Aroma has notes of spices, cinnamon, chocolate, pepper kernels, alcohol and apples in it. Taste is strong, rich ahd savory, with yeastyness, spices and some madera like qualitys. Alcohol is well hidden, and adds a nice punch about ten minutes into drinking it. Creamy mouthfeel. A pretty good brew for how far it has travelled.

Jul 20, 2008 An interesting take on one of my favorite beers. Beautiful aroma of cocoa, dark fruits, licorice, roast, ad wine. The only real difference I can detect from the original Pannepot is a less pronounced chocolate character and a more pronounced dark fruit character. Regardless, an amazingly tasty beer.

Jul 19, 2008 2006 Bottle at Haket. Pours a dark brown colour with a pale head. The aroma is very fruity - overripe plums, dried fruit, milk chocolate, some liqueur. Very complex. The flavour is sweet,complex and very fruity with notes of overripe plums, dried fruit, milk chocolate, spices and some bitterness in the finish. Yummy!

Jul 19, 2008 Dark brown with a disappearing tan head. Even if i’ve drank just 2 bottles of this one and several of the "straight" one, i rate Pannepøt some decimals more, because I’ve founded less licorice in it and lot more berries and fruits and malty sweetness, ’though a bit ethilic when poured. Chocolate and spices complete the whole, along with several other things i’m sure i can’t detect. Full sipping body, a pleasure.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle, at cgarvieuk’s, with Stella, the kids, and Traci. Really great tasting Craig—thanks! Esp nice of you to pull this one out to share with me, even though you’d had it already. Deep brown, nice layer of tan head. Peppermint, dark resiny chocolate and mahogany aroma. Sweet resiny caramel flavor, milk chocolate, hints of spice around the edges. Just a little lingering sweet. Not sure if I could tell this from Pannepot blind, but that’s not a bad thing at all.
