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.

beernbourbon (919) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - JUL 8, 2009
07 bottle. Pour is deep murky brown with smallish tan head. Some floaties in there too. The whole room smells like this beer after the pour. Banana, brown sugar, dates, dried plums, clove, cinnamon, light roasted malt, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is just enormous and oh so rich. Brown sugar, dried fruits, banana, cinnamon, dates, caramel, and a touch of alcohol. Alcohol was fairly well hidden. This beer has outrageous complexity and richness. It is so rich yet so drinkable, I love it. I also love that huge aroma that filled my kitchen for minutes after the pour. Will always have a few of these around from now on.

dmschefke (440) - Macomb, Michigan, USA - JUL 8, 2009
06 bottle. Pours a dark cloudy mahogany with clear edges, thin tan head that sticks around for entire drink, decent lacing. Left a decent bit of sediment on glass until almost the end of glass, which I then poured in. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, chocolate, slight coffee, caramel, and alcohol. Flavor matches with the addition of a nice spice profile, yeast, and dried fruits. Alcohol a little more up front than I was expecting, but it doesn’t dominate the drink. Extra sediment toward end gave a bit of a spicier flavor, which I think would have been even better to have for the entire glass. Truly a nice complex brew that I would enjoy to have more often.

Pawola22 (1993) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 4, 2009
11.2oz bottle from 2007. Pours a deep mahogany brown body with bits of sediment. Very creamy, inch thick, dense, dark tan head that dissipates very slowly, never completely disappears, and leaves some thick, layered lacing. Gorgeous. Aroma is sweet with lots of deep caramels. Raisin bread, dried fruits, chocolate and cream, a touch of roast, brown sugar, and a hint of licorice spiced booze. Flavor is quite sweet as well. Lots of caramels, nuts, dates, fruitcake, chocolate, plums, and a sweet booze. A light spicing keeps this very well balanced and enhances the layers of flavor. Finishes sweet with a touch of bitterness and a light roast. Palate is full and creamy with a good amount of carbonation. Slightly dry with plenty of aftertaste. Overall, a fantastic beer. Sweet, rich, balanced, and complex. World class.

Birdiebeagle (958) - Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 2, 2009
Bottle 2007 Pours a dark brown with a good tan head. The head is fizzy and lasting. Produces good lacing. Aroma is of sweet fruits, oak, and touches of vanilla. Has a good carbonation. Has a slight but good alcohol burn, very mild but a nice touch. The flavor is well balanced. The tastes dance on your tongue like subdued pop rocks. Hasa slick texture. A real good mouthfeel. A solid finish with a good aftertaste. This is just a darn good beer.

sebletitje (4011) - Enghien, BELGIUM - JUL 2, 2009
33cl bottle, ’07, PNP4 pours dark brown, light caramel head with nice golden lacing. Aroma candy sugar, bready, coffee, some hints of possible vanilla sweetness, malty and dry fruits. Taste, sweet dark malts, profile has some nice touch of candy sugar, some spices, bready, hints of coffee. Some dry fruits; raisins and figs. Candy sugar leaves a thin sticky moutheel, as the beer warms up the palate becomes more caramel and spicy with what could be some cinnamon.
