badgerben (3160), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Jun 26, 2008 All hail the generosity of OSLO and Guerde! Dark brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma of cardamom, cinnamon and a sweet, dark malt. The taste... is very tasty. The oak stands out, with vanilla fading to the end. A strong brandy/wine character. Lots of Belgian yeast and breadiness, though not the strong spicy character. Sweet finish. I wish I had a gallon of this to contemplate.
thebeertourist (1889), Oslo, Norway Oct 10, 2008 Bottle, vintage 2005. Very dark brown with a small stable, creamy beige head. Vinous, roasted coffee and chocolate aroma, vanilla oak in rich portions. Vinous flavours, good roasted bitterness, tart fruit, some chocolate. State of the art. Swolf3 (88), Elkton, Maryland, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to GMCC2181, thanks! Poured brown with nice cream colored head. Aroma was oak, vanilla. spice, and raisins. Taste is fruity, oak, spice, and rich in flavor. finished nice and was enjoyable, with lots of carbonation. a nice beer. GMCC2181 (422), Bear, Delaware, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle (05) from brad. Cheers! Darker in color then I expected decent head. The nose was dark fruits... Taste was also dark fruits, spices, vanilla/oak from the ageing. Creamy texture, a little over carbonated but well balanced. Easy to drink and I enjoyed it but it wasnt as good as the original pannepot. Thanks brad, for the brew! plovmand (676), Helsinge, Denmark Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a dense long lasting beige creamy head. Ripe fruit, caramel, spices and balsamico in aroma. Creamy body. Flavour is very fruity and vinous and it contains notes of vanilla, prunes, spices and a bit very pleasant sourness. Great beer indeed.

Aroma is balsamic vinegar, mixed fruit and brown sugar, inviting murky brown, small tan head. A complexity of flavours, a few being raisins, pitfruits, pomegranates, loads of malt. Medium bodied, sour/tart, dry, yet oh so drinkable, most satisfying. Scrumptious!
