Honey in there. Hides the alcohol well. Fruity. Dark amber in color. Good beige head. Fruits, dark fruits in the taste. Some caramel. Apricots, pears. Smooth mouthful. Good beer.

Fruchtige Geruchsnoten verbinden sich hier mit malzigen. Sehr komplexer Antrunk, anfangs fruchtig, dann eher ins (tief) malzige gehend halten sich diese beiden Aromen in Balance. Dabei istdas ganze leicht süß Gehalten, was wirklich im perfektem Einklang geschieht. In diesem Verältnis geht es weiter, alle Aromen werden, im richtigen Verhältniss zueinander, stärker, wobei das Malz nach und nach die Überhand gewinnt, es wird überaus würzig. Dies ist ein fast perfektes Bier!

2006 33cl. Very murky amber with a thin off-white head. Malty, dark sugar, bread, slightly wood/paper, and spicy. Sweet malt, a little banana, with alcohol presence throughout. Not as complex as I might have hoped. Decent bitter finish. Had dinner not long before I tried this, which took a little from my appreciation.

33cl bottle, dated 2006, with thanks to ygtbsm94 for the excellent bonus. Pours a hazy brown/amber with a one finger tan head that sticks around forever, with good lacing as well. Aroma is candied dark fruits, spices, and some bready yeast. Flavor is more dark fruits, yeast, and light spice, with a sweeter finish. Palate is creamy and full with a lasting finish. While not quite to the level of the "regular" Pannepot, its another good one from Struise for sure, thanks again Brad!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
11.2 oz bottle. A pleasant, mellow, airy aroma with a little bit of an alcoholic twinge to it, a variety of medium sweetness fruits, brown sugar, toffee, cake mix, and some other subtle spices. Huge and thick sandy cream head on the pour that didn’t stick as nicely as i would’ve liked, very hazy with a good amount of particulate, bloody auburn in color. Flavor profile is fairly complex with notes of a good variety of spices and sweetness. Minor bit of alcohol comes through a little as well. Strawberry-banana cream right at the start, caramel-toffee hard candy, some toasted marshmallow, and a dry spicy brown sugar malt finish. A very nice drink that is not too far off from being truly excellent.

Bottle shared by cschwaz. thanks Craig. The aroma is very vinous, lots of dark fruit, kind of wine like to me. Brown beer with a thin foamy ring. Sweet dark bread, dark malts, vinous fruit, toast. Drinks very smoothly with medium carbonation and a slight warming effect in the finish.

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2009 Bottle. Hazy dark brown body, with a medium tan head. Aroma is malt, lots of spices and alcohol. Flavor is sweet fruit, again lots of spices, syrup and a warming finish from the alcohol. A really good beer.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
07 bottle from 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into a goblet. Dark opaque russet with a slight reddish tinge. Creamy beige head leaves some lacing. Aromas of black cherry yogurt, a dusting of coriander, brown sugar, and caramel. Flavors of dark toasty caramel, maple syrup, brown sugar, nutmeg, cherries, berries, and coriander. Nice complexity and insane smoothness. No trace of alcohol. Body is a couple notches thicker than medium. Well-attenuated and so easy to drink. Great beer.
