2006 bottle thanks to footbalm. Pours a dark brown/red with a nice beige head-awesome. The aroma is really deep; spices, some dark fruits and roasted notes. The taste is smooth and has no hint of alcohol; spices, plums, figs, semi-sweet Belgian chocolate. Really nice. A beer that is good anytime.

Sep 7, 2008 Pours a deep, dark oily black, fast dissapearing tan head. Smell is warming, roasted malts, spices, malt. Taste is thick and creamy, warming alcohol and spices (don’t know which as there’s so much going on), really intriguing ale, enjoyable and very complex.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle. Black beer with a malty and roasted aroma, and a very rich and malty flavour. Overall a nice rich and roasted beer.

Sep 5, 2008 Pours dark, dark mahogany brown with a rocky one-finger tan head that lingers for a while leaving lots of lacing.
The smell has a huge sweet caramel malt base with tons dark fruits in there, figs and grapes with a complimentary candied sugar sweetness. I got some spices in the nose but not a dominant aroma for me.
The taste has more of the spice character with an opening candied sugar and dark fruit sweetness. There is a heavy roasted malt backbone in the middle with spices lingering in the finish with a faint sour hint as well. Very complex flavor and quite enjoyable.
Mouthfeel is incredible - smooth enough to coat your mouth with flavor, but with enough carbonation to keep it dancing on the palate.
This is a big, complex beast of a quad and one of the best I’ve had. It’s definitely a sipper but one that I highly recommend.

Sep 1, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere de couleur brune foncé avec un mince collet non collant. Odeur surette, épices, canelle, rubarbe, sucre et un peu de sel. Gout tres crémeux, un peu épicés, sel et un peu d’alcohol.

Aug 31, 2008 Chocolatey brown colour and lovely foam make this an enticing looking beer and the enticing aroma makes me want to take an everlasting dive into my duvel glass. Roasty, sweet aroma with raisins and a vinous quality really got me all teary eyed, i had to restrict myself because i was in the company of men. The taste, oh the taste, there is everything in here that I want. The palate is perfectly soft, the rich malty taste, fruits, chocolate, so many notes here that i stop counting and just enjoy the hell out of the experience. So to make a long ramble tolerably short, I am gay for Pannepot.
