Struise Pannepot Grand Reserva Oak Aged

Thanks again moejuck: Mahogany pour. Very sweet smelling of dried fig, chocolate, oak, malt, and alcohol. Thick and syrupy mouthfeel, a little hot for my tastes, but flavor is complex- almost like a wine.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Wonderful dark brown body. Cloudy. Sweet nose. Really nice taste of dark fruits, chocolate, plums and lots of malt. Lots of lacing. Very smooth and creamy. So many tastes. Wonderful. Will have to revisit again... and again.

Big thanks to enjoyit for this bottle...for free! Visit his shop if you are in the area....Anyways. Brown pour with a thick brow head. Aroma was oaky with vanilla and thick malts. Flavor was oak, vanilla, peat, pear, and cherry. Slightly sweet finish, highly carbonated mouthfeel.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a wispy, persistent, off-white head. Smell: Aroma of dark malts and toasted oak wrapped up in a luscious, sweet-smelling raisin/plum syrup. Yes, I read Calvados, but for me it’s very port-like. Taste: Rich sweet maltiness! Flavors of simple syrup, dark caramel, light brown sugar, and a drop or three of molasses. Did I mention it’s sweet? A tiny kick of tartness accompanies the potent, port-like fruitiness and plays nicely alongside the sweetness. Underlying tastes of vanilla and oak. Sweet, fruity finish with a lingering taste of cane sugar. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Mild carbonation. Drinkability: Quite nice! A superb creation. Can I take away PBR’s blue ribbon and give it to this beer?
