Struise Pannepot Grand Reserva

2005 bottle shared by BOLTZ7555. Pours a clear brown with minimal light tan head that leaves nice lacing. Nose is port wine, spice and alcohol. Taste is complex with white grapes, yeast, a touch of funk and some sweet brown sugar and oak with a sour black cherry and alcohol finish. Medium bubbly mouth feel. Very good. Thanks for the opportunity Jason!

Vintage 2005 tasted in September 2008. Very dark brown with medium pale tan head. Aroma of malt and caramel. tastes of liquorice and caramel, the sweetness nicely balanced with hoppy bitterness, especially late.

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 051171. Dark brown with small but nice head. Aroma of malt and wood. Flavor is caramel and dried fruit with a tangy note.

2005 BB4 Nov 30, 2013. Very dark amber looks dark brown until held up to the light. Lasting thin head. Sour edged scent, malty vinnegar, or sour soy and molasses. Melds into a wine dipped cigar kind of aroma. Flavour starts out as aroma implied. In addition to the sour oak, soy and light molasses is a layer of chocolate. Complex with lots of layers but dominated by the sour oak edge particularly in the finish.

Bottle (Thanks ygtbsm94!) Pours deep muddy burgundy with a thick dense tan head. Big, yet tame aroma. Smooth dark fruits, raisin, dried fig, cocoa, mild vanilla booze and smooth oak. Fluffy feel to the body. Rich flavor. Has a plummy richness along with warming winy character. A slight fruity tartness- almost like plum wine. Toasted Belgian malts, cocoa, dates, and a toasted oak finish. The finish has residual dark malt character of caramelized brown sugar. Complex, rich and tasty.

0.33 l bottle, vintage 2005. Hazy reddish brown color. Warming, vinous, chocolatey and nutty aroma with licorice and some meaty-woody notes as well. Tart-fruity and vinous flavor with chocolate, gooseberries, raisins and wood. Hint of sharpness from alcohol and tart fruits. Tasty, but I prefer the original which is smoother and not so tart-fruity-berryish.

330. ’05. Thanks, Thewolf! Hazy ruddied dark amber. Dense tan head. Fruity and tart in a very pleasant way. Creamy medium body. Tart red appley with a little bit of brown apple. Mild tart finish. Not as interesting as the base beer, but very good.

Bottle. Pours dark brown/black with very thick and long lasting beige head. Aroma of raspberry, chocolate, soy. Sweet and inviting like a desert. Complex sweet and fruity taste. Lots of raisins, oak, chocolate and raspberry. Reminds me of port. Smooth and well balanced.
