Struise Pannepot

Brewed by De Struise Brouwers
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Oostvleteren, Belgium

Speechless. Nice, thick carbonated kick on the front of your palate that immediately dissipates. Dark fruits in the nose, nothing crazy. Flavor is so extremely well balanced. Creamy, sweet malt, candied figs, dates. Been looking for this beer for a few years, enjoyed via trade with lopes. Left me wanting more.. much more.

Pours a opaque dark reddish brown with a huge beige head that left some spotty lacing and hung around awhile. Aroma is of sweet dark fruit, cherries, sweet malt, apple, chocolate and booze. Flavor is a pretty complex mix of dark fruit, wood, spice, and alcohol. Mouthfeel is rich and full and finishes sweet and warm, with a lingering oakiness. Pretty sweet tasting overall, and a little sour. Not a bad brew, but I liked the Rochefort 8 a little better.

Last one in the lineup- Poured a super hazey cloud of a brown with a medium sized off white head. Something close to beige. Very attractive lacing down the glass. Aroma has some noticeable wood, fig and earthiness on the nose. Taste was a little bit sweeter again, with a chewy caramel flavour that does a fairly decent job concealing the alcohol. But it does come through in the finish. All in a days work! Thanks John :)

Colore scuro con schiuma discretamente persistente,aroma dolciastro e speziato con sentori di frutta secca.In bocca è dolce e speziata e fruttata,abbastanza completa.Ottima

Bottle from DalzAle. Aroma has notes of dark fruits, spice, cherries, yeast. Dark brown hue with a large light tan head that diminished and left good lace. Flavor is musty, spicy with lots of cob webs and some fruits. Palate is medium bodied and lively. Smells good but tastes like shit. Fuckin horrible flavor, made with real fish or some shit.

This beer is pretty dang good. its a strong ale that has some sourness to it as it ages. A little funk but very damn smooth. I haave some more of this I am going to cherish

On Tap. Poured a dark red with a large brownish head. Aroma is quite complex, smells of dark fruits, cherries and a bit of spice. Flavor is complex as well, it was mostly tart and sour but build to a sweet finish. A bit of alcohol present. Not my favorite belgian but enjoyable.

11.2-ounce bottle from City Beer, San Francisco. Pours an opaque brown with a large head that recedes slowly. Aroma is very complex: Of berries and other fruit, flora, cherry, booze, brown sugar, a little spice, toffee. Flavor is initially a little sour but sweet after that in addition to heavy sweet malt, again a lot of dark fruit, big booze in the taste, the throat, and the esophagus. Finishes bitter. Perfect mouthfeel just makes it more delicious and makes you demand more after every swallow. Sticky, thick viscosity; Not syrupy, just thick and hearty, chunky. I didn’t know quite what to expect of this, but now I’m glad I got it. Many beers don’t quite live up to the hype. This one does. A must-try for Belgian fans. Overall, world-class.
