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.

A huge thanks to guerde & oslo for this gem. The aroma was of the usual pitted fruits and spice I get from any Pannepot, but with the wonderful addition of oak and all it’s associated aromas plus the calvados. In the body, much the same character as the aroma, but the calvados really cuts through. A murky brown pour with faint head.

(bottle, thanks Marsiblursi!!) Pours muddy brown with an off-white head. Just a really great aroma of chocolate, vinousness, plum, raisin, oak all over, with some unidentifiable spice, and a fair amount of yeast. The taste is very heavy on oak, with a lot of vinousness, tart berry skin, plum, which yields to a salt and oak finish. Mouthfeel is definitely full and chewy. This was good, but it still isn’t as good as the masterpiece that is the original Pannepot.

2005 bottle
Deep burgundy colour, firm head. Vinous aroma with notes of red berries, liquorice and calvados. Flavour is vinous with sweet notes of malt, currants, sour cherries, calvados, and oak. I can even sense a slight roastiness. The finish is alcohol bitter and warming.

Bottle, 33cl - Dark mahogany color, with a small beige head. Aroma is dominated by strong notes of pears, calvados, caramel and with hints of wood. Flavor is malty with notes of oak, caramel and strong hints of pears. Finishes with a slight touch of warming alcohol and a soft bitterness. A very interesting and exciting complex beer!

Bottle thanks to rciesla for sharing at brianK’s. Pours a deep ruby amber almsot woody with a thin head. Aroma is not as spicy as I expected compared to the other versions- good amoutn of woody winey character with a light medicinal flavor and aroma. Moslty sweet flavor - lots of thick deep sweet caramel malts, along with some fruity ester slike apricto, pear and apple, with some orange zest as well. Pretty smooth on the finish with a light tannin and wine like hint. Nice beer.
