3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very nice Belgian. Dark brown with a small head. Aroma is strong of malt and alcohol. Taste is malt, molasses, vanilla and an alcohol warmth.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: DEC 17, 2009 2007 vintage to celebrate rating #150: Dark brown, almost black in colour with a beige head. Incredibly complex aroma: the first thing that came to my mind was blueberries and cherry syrup; dark caramel malts and peppery spices, wood and sherry. Tastes very sweet, usually people describe roasted malt flavours as dark chocolate, but this reminds me more of sweet milk chocolate. Raisiny malty goodness with a lovely, distinct berry-like fruitiness that is elevated by the alcohol. I’m amazed how clean and accessible this beer remains at 10% ABV. Simply a masterpiece.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This beer starts off with a really nice nose of yeast, dark fruit, alcohol, and hints of chocolate. Flavors are similar, but not quite as strong or as flavorful as the nose. Overall, a nice beer.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
I think that this version of pannepot is the best of all. Very smooth at all and absolutely one of my favourites. Just a half step over the others.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle, 33cl. Pours very alluring dense and dark mahogany, with generous off-white head. Extremely complex aroma of sweet dark fruits, chocolate, liquorice, spices and caramel. Quite sour on the palate, slighty too much so for me (compared to the Reservas), but a cracking ale nonetheless.

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: MAR 24, 2010 Bottle. 11.2 oz. (2007 Vintage) Pours deep, deep brown, nearly opaque, with a finger, beige head. Aroma of raisins, apples, wine, scotch, vinegar, malts, yeast, and caramel. Medium body with a beautiful, warm blossom in the finish. This brew is perfectly balanced; sour and sweet are balanced; heavy and smooth alike. Outstanding Belgian strong, and, thus far, one of my favorite brews that I have sampled. Highly recommended.
