Commercial Description:
In the early 1900s, the village of De Panne, close to the French border, was famous for two things -- the ‘Pannepots,’ or fishing boats, that could be seen along the coast, and the unique dark ale enjoyed by the local fishermen. Our Old Fisherman’s Ale is a tribute to these hardy sailors and their rich, flavorful brew. Unfiltered. Unpasteurized. Bottle-conditioned in 33cl and 75cl.

(2/28/08) Bottle at Staminee de Garre in Bruges. 2006 Bottle. Dark reddish brown with a big beige head that disappears quite fast. Aroma of malt, caramel, some spices, notes of dark fruits and hints of alcohol. Great sweet flavor with malt, caramel, spices, a bit of fruits and some nice light roastiness. A slight alcohol kick. Medium to full bodied. Great.

Vintage 2006, enjoyed March 2008. It’s brown/black like a porter and the head is nice, huge, creamy and light brown. The aroma is vinous and complex with a light sweetness, notes of prunes, raisin, roasted malt, caramel and hints of licorice. The body is very full and nice, it has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, prunes, raisin, figs, caramel, hints of licorice and a very light bitterness. It’s very, very harmonic, complex and nice!

Bottle at Uber-Tavern. This is absolutely the real deal. Bursting with raisin, fig, plum, date and dark caramel flavors. A great flavor effect, like coffee cake or a bread pudding crust. I can’t say more than what thousands already know. This beer will not disappoint.

11.2 oz bottle from BottleTrek.com. Two words sum up this beer...smooooth and creamy. Almost exploded out of the bottle, but pours mahogany. Very creamy head and aroma of dark fruit. Flavor is complex, I detected raisins, malt, vanilla, oak, etc. 10% alcohol? No way, never saw that coming. Unbelievable beer, this is one beer that deserves 100.

Coca-cola type appearance. Very nice appearance. I have never seen a beer this dark. I know there are a shitload of malts in this beer. The color is absolutely wonderful. There is no head to speak of. It was there and then faded away, almost too fast. There is a rather weak aroma, but when I do smell the beer it smells of raisins and caramel. I am a little upset with the potency of the aroma, but when i do smell the aroma it smells wonderful. Very malty. This thing is very thick and creamy for a belgian strong. This beer does not have a ton of carbonation like a lot of other Belgian Ales. The raisins, caramel, and malts are so tasty. Very sweet ale. The alcohol has a small bite at the end. This beer’s alcohol is hidden well. This is such a sweet beer, with a little dry taste. The aftertaste just lingers in your mouth. This is an exceptionally tasty Belgian Ale. This beer has a creamy texture, and I can definitely say this is one of my favortie Belgian Ales. The flavors just linger for so long. I have not tasted a beer like this in a while.

33cl. bottle: This has become a real classic with me. Pours very dark rich brown with a red luminescence. Tall medium-dark tan head that is somewhat creamy. Great head retention for a 10% ABV beer. Aroma of plums dominates over some brown sugar and spiced iced-tea with a malt background. Anise adds a bit of a sharpness that brings out some dark over-brewed tea. Something ashy that gives a fire-roasted note can be picked up now and then. Upon tasting you notice the ABV. Malt is a little more pronounced in the flavor but still gets dominated by brown sugar with intermingled dark fruits including black plums. Dark raisin and a wood note add some nice earthiness. Some tea-leaves that almost turn to tobacco run from the middle till the (almost overly>>) sweet alcoholic and almost woody finish.
