Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Aug 3, 2008 Mahogany with a dense head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, spice and berries. The flavours are distinctly spiced and malty with some dates, chocolate, wood and vanilla on top. Finally, it has a huge body. All in all it’s excellent and tasting wise in family with the westy. kegbear (265), Orange, California, USA Jul 31, 2008 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep rich brown with a huge tan head. Aroma of sweet dried fruits, malt and allspice. Tastes sweet and rich of dried fruit, malt, spice with a slight bitter finish. A complex beer that should be sipped. Top notch. MrChopin (621), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 31, 2008 2006 bottle. Pours dark mahogany with a large, supple beige head and lacing. The nose doesn’t announce itself across the room, but take a close whiff and fall backwards: sweet malts with raisins, burnt sugar, and a buttery cream; a touch of wine and alcohol, like whiskey; some lighter elements like refreshing fruits and flowers; and hints of chocolate. It’s so coherent, but wait until you taste it: sweet with more dried fruit, sugar, alcohol, hints of smoke... all as one. It’s full bodied and oh so lush, and the finish... my mouth is soaking up the experience long after it’s gone. W12 may ultimately be more rewarding, but Pannepot is more integrated and perhaps even easier to drink. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA Jul 30, 2008 Bottle from Bottle Trek. Poured a dark brown and had the aroma of dark fruits and carmel. Tasted of carmel and molasses. Definately on the thicker side. Overall a great brew. JohnQPublic (387), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jul 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown, reddish highlights, fluffy tan head. Aroma is dark fruits, a bit vinous, molasses, spicy alcohol. Dances on the tongue with prickly carbonation coupled with a bit of alcohol spice; molasses, dark fruits, and fresh baked, rich, yeasty bread on the taste. Finish is tingly, spicy, yeast, hint of alcohol; dark fruits and burnt brown sugar seem to grow again after several seconds before receding again. Mouthfeel is effervescently carbonated while still beautifully creamy. Wonderful. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Jul 29, 2008 Bottle: Pours just like cola, with s small ring of tan, bubbly head. Aroma is a little astringent, with dark fruits and brown sugar. Tinge of nail polish remover. Mouthfeel is velvety, flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices. Warm finish. Pretty rich beer. BoBoChamp (1334), Gent, Belgium Jul 28, 2008 Updated: Jul 19, 200933cl, brew Anno 2007, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, balanced, cloudy, good head, very good brew, a topper! timfoolery (482), California, USA Jul 28, 2008 Bottle from Bottletrek.com. After confirming that I got "the right" Pannepot, I’m also relieved to say that this is one of the best Belgian Strong’s I’ve had to date. The beer was sticky, but not too sweet. There were flavors of dark fruit, light coffee, molasses, and spices (although, not overdone). The palate was excellently smooth, balancing complex flavors with ease. A Great beer!
