Commercial Description:
"Vintage 2005"
Our PGR has aged for 24 months on oak barrels and has been bottled for the first time on the 27th of December 2007. The main difference with the Pannepot Reserva is that PGR matured the last ten months on Calvados oak barrels, adding extra complexity to the beer. We dedicate this beer as a tribute to Jeppe & Michael of Ølbutikken in Denmark. Those gentlemen were the first to discover our beers on an International basis back in 2004 and are responsable somehow for our beers being all over the globe since then. As a token of gratitude towards Jeppe & Michael, the first shipment of PGR was scheduled to Ølbutikken so they could be the first to launch its commercialisation.

2005 vintage bottle from Systembolaget. When I poured it the aroma spread in the room! At first a malty, sweet and then a bit sour. The beer is dark brown with a nice tan head. A complex beer full of flavour.

I tried this beer on September 12, 2008 at "Smokeless Joes" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark brown colour, with a thin light brown head which lasted throughout. The aroma was caramel malt, burnt sugar, some peppery spice, and anise. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, medium carbonated, and had a sharpness on the side of the tongue. The flavour was very sweet with hints of raw maple sugar, dark caramel malts, and some apples and pears. An excellent beer despite when the sweetness is considered.

Bottle. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a small but persistent tan head, looking like a nice porter or brown ale. Both the aroma and flavour are rich and complex, with notes of dark sugar, oak, raisins, vanilla, anise, calvados and sour cherry, with a mild astringency in the finish. Hides that 10% remarkably well. Beautiful stuff.

<b>2700th rating!!</b> <i>Bottle (330ml) courtesy of HogTownHarry. 2005 vintage.</i> Pours a very deep bubbly amber-brown with an average size diminishing fizzy/foamy tan head. Aroma, which is milder then expected but still very nice, of lightly tart fruit, some sugary sweetness (just the right amount), malt, yeast, some hops and a hint of chocolate -- like I said, milder then expected and less complex but still very, very nice. Flavour of tart fruit, sweet caramel malt, a good amount of oak (not overdone) and sweetness -- not overly sweet which is great -- dark fruit, a bit of metal in the finish and the alcohol is well hidden. Lightly tart bitter finish. Well carbonated. Medium bodied. Not spectacular but still a great beer and I am glad to have had it.

Had this courtesy of Chris Lively at Ebinezers Pub. Oak aged Panny need I say more . If you are a huge fan of barrel aged or oak aged beers like I am well lets just say you take one of my all time favorites Pannepot and age it in Calvados barrels and the Struise gang does things a notch above all others. Vanilla,caramel,oak,spice its all here this just might be the best beer ive had and thats putting it in some lofty company...

To me, this is the best belgian strong ale...even over the number one ranked beer. This has so many nice complexities in the flavor, ranging from brown sugar, to some fruit notes, to an almost chocolate flavor. Not as acidic IMO as other strong belgians and had a fuller mouthfeel.

Vintage 2005. It is dark, red mahogany and the head is creamy. The aroma is vinous and sweetish with notes of plum, raisin, figs, roasted malt, caramel and only a little wood. The flavour has sweetness and notes of plum, raisin, grapes, figs, roasted malt, licorice, caramel, wood and hints of vanilla. It is vinous and very complex. I prefer the normal Pannepot.
