Rating #1000. I first off want to thank all my friends from RB that have gotten me this far. It is hilarious to think that less than 2 years ago I knew nothing about beer whatsoever. Now I find my self working at Struise farm and at Deca to make nearly from start to finish Struise Rosse and bottling runs of Black Damnation I, III, IV, and Pannepot. I mean holy shit. This site, the fellowship from the people here, and the generosity of the people I’ve traded with and the people I’ve met in person is humbling, overwhelming. You guys in a sort of geeky way are part of my family and I appreciate everyone that has helped me get here.
On to the beer! Urbain pours this into tulips to reveal something that is almost black with great carbonation that creates a massive tan head that sticks around almost indefinitely leaving amazing lacework. Aroma is divine: slight Earthmonk FSA nose with wine barrel, red wine, Christmas spices, and light smoke and fireplace. Taste is deep dark/dried fruits, cedar, spices, wood resin. Excellent creamy palate. Very good and a beer I will probably not stumble across again anytime soon.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Sample at ’het Schooltje’ Oostvleteren. I always imagine that the quality of the beer deteriorates a little because it’s kept for a longer time in the ’tap trailer’. Though amazing idea!
Appearance: black beer, though not pitch black. No head.
Nose: red fruits, some brett, wood.
Taste: wood, very sweet and little to no sourness noticeable, very vinous. Alcohol noticeable, coffee.
Little disappointed in this version, since I like pannepot a lot.

Tap @ borefts beer festival 2012. Secretly dark reddish with a brown head. Smells like fruits of the forrest and just a slight hint of the wild yeast. Tastes like summer, berries and melancholy. Grassy hop, and again the yeast is not that overwhelming. Nice though! More interesting than the original imo.

Tap at Het Oude Schooltje, Oostvleteren - 23/03/13.
Clear dark mahogony brown with a thin tan head that clears to the edge and leaves light spotting atop the beer.
Nose carries light sour tones, dark fruits, hint of chocolate, dates, raisens.
Taste comprises toffee, dark fruits, yeast, brett notes.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, dry in the finish.
Decent offering but I prefer the standard Pannepot - the balance of this one is a little of kilter.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
(Draught at Ebenezer’s Pub) cloudy deep brown, nose of caramel raisins, tart, wet barrel, dates and figs, very complex. Taste of cinnamon, fig, rich, dark fruit, very complex and a bit of wine barrel, maybe Bordeaux. Palate finish is damn near perfect, so delicious to just drink. At 10% it goes down so smooth. Not too tart and that’s a great thing. This is near the top on my list of "want to drink again" beers.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber brown colour, light beige head. Aroma of wid yeast, sour berries, quite fruity, light spicy. Light sour flavour, light sweetness. Quite dry. Quite thin body, sour finish, berries, overripe fruit.
(Draught @ BBF ’12. Thanks for sharing, 77ships!)

Bottle: Poured a dark cloudy brown color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light tart notes with some fruity ester and dry fruits notes is really nice. Taste is a great mix between some light tart notes with some oak and vinous notes that are well balanced against some fruity ester with dry fruit and a solid malt backbone. Body is full with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very interesting beer with loads of complexity while retaining a very good level of drinkability.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 19/20
Tap @ BBF 12. One of my go-to-beers.
Pour deep murky brown/reddish, with a small tan head.
Aroma of sweet berries, caramel, cinnamon, brett, spices, cheesy yeast. Pretty complex and tasty to me. The taste has a nice balance between the sweet up-front, with the sour towards the end. Average body, with a average carb.
