Feb 19, 2009 2005 vintage:
Taste is sweet, metallic some nuttiness, caramel, winey, and oak, some alcohol.
Lots of wine, dustiness, some sulphur, cherry, cidery.
Aroma is metallic, cidery, cinnamon, sugary-sweet, more sulphur, and oak.
Lots of rocky head that adheres to the glass even after the head dies down.
Finish is sweet, still more metallic flavor, wine, some dryness and sweet nuttiness.
Thick, sweet mouthfeel that does not cloy, nor does it get get overly bitter.

Feb 19, 2009 750 ml bottle - thanks after4ever!! 2006 vintage; pours clear, roasty brown with fizzt tan head; oh, man this is one of the greats and reminds me of how much i loved my first pannepot; very complex aromas of oak, dates, candy spice, yeast, chocolate and who knows what else; all the same there in the flavors; creamy texture goes down like silk and not a trace of the 10%; pretty much perfection and looking forward to another bottle!!

Säuerlicher Geruch, unter dem sich Hopfen verbirgt. Das Bier startet bereits komplex, das Bier ist hier süß, man erkennet den hohen Alkoholgehalt, ohne den Alkohol selber zu schmecken. Weiterhin hopfig-herb mit SEHR malzigem, immer präsenten Aroma, dabei ist minimale Bitterschokolade im Spiel, was sich zum Abgang hin steigert. Dort erreicht das Bier seinen komplexesten Teil, in dem das Bier überaus aromatisch und würzig ist. Herrlich vollmundig, ein super Bier!

Feb 11, 2009 2006 version. I think this was also shared by Tom. The aroma is sweet and sugary, lots of candy, french toast, dark fruits, light tartness, wood. Pours a muddy red brown. Lots of dark malts in the flavor, dark fruits, fruity candy, a touch of tartness from the oak. Really an interesting beer. Glad I got to try this.

Feb 9, 2009 Thanks to tocdog69 for a share of this wondrous beer! Lovely dark pour, amber but not murky. Its got a vibrant quality to it that exemplifies the complex flavors it contains. The nose is amazing, with a complex blend of barrel (woody and oaky, not that generic smoothness you often get with the pretenders), mild vanilla, rich and varied spices. The mouthfeel is amazingly silky, and the way that the regular Pannepot (itself a superlative beer) has been transformed is just a delight, with mild sour flavors enriching it. Awesome. I hope I have another chance to try this sometime.
