sunevdj (1765), Copenhagen OE, Denmark May 19, 2008 Updated: Aug 22, 2008Bottle labeled vintage 2005 - does that mean there will be more of these... Awesome. Pours a clear dark brown with a medium off-white head and a few yeast floaties. Loew sweetness with a mellow berry-like sourness and a very light bitterness. Aromas of raisins, fondue cheese, cask wood and berries. Hints of smoke. Tiny alcohol notes. Long slightly dry berry like dry finish. OK, I thought this would be a hyped up version of the regular Poannepot... but I was wrong. It is SO good. I espesially like the berry-ish/red wine like sourness. It gives it a nice and really fresh touch. hopdog (5526), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA May 19, 2008 330cl bottle labeled BB 30/11/2012. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of wood/oak, spices, dark fruits, and chocolate. Tastes of wood, dark fruits (plums and raisins), chocolate, and vanilla. Light tartness. On the sweet side with the alcohol content hidden. zathrus13 (1288), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA May 18, 2008 Pours dark brown, with a kight brown head. Aroma is oak, fruit (apples seem to be most prominent), chocolate, alcohol, and malt. Flavor is fruit, oak, malt, molasses, and alcohol. Nice, but the regular Pannepot is better. Shag (1922), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA May 17, 2008 This one poured a dark brown color. The aroma is complex with some oak, chocolate, caramel, raisins, and alcohol. The flavor is rather sweet with some oak, vanilla, chocolate, molasses, and other dark fruits. This is good in small amounts but can get a bit too sweet. Some alcohol burn in the finish. Overall a great beer. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 15, 2008 Thanks again moejuck: Mahogany pour. Very sweet smelling of dried fig, chocolate, oak, malt, and alcohol. Thick and syrupy mouthfeel, a little hot for my tastes, but flavor is complex- almost like a wine. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway May 12, 2008 thanks for sharing this bit of heaven with me tom!- pours brown cloudy like cola tiight head, tan lots of lacing, nose is pure bananas slight cola, alcohol, berries. tastes slightly too hot, bananas chocolate, slight cola, slight milkyness, full bodied. chocolate, definite chocolate and peach. great mouthfeel. pepsican (883), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA May 12, 2008 Big thanks to enjoyit for this bottle...for free! Visit his shop if you are in the area....Anyways. Brown pour with a thick brow head. Aroma was oaky with vanilla and thick malts. Flavor was oak, vanilla, peat, pear, and cherry. Slightly sweet finish, highly carbonated mouthfeel. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA May 11, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a wispy, persistent, off-white head.
Smell: Aroma of dark malts and toasted oak wrapped up in a luscious, sweet-smelling raisin/plum syrup. Yes, I read Calvados, but for me it’s very port-like.
Taste: Rich sweet maltiness! Flavors of simple syrup, dark caramel, light brown sugar, and a drop or three of molasses. Did I mention it’s sweet? A tiny kick of tartness accompanies the potent, port-like fruitiness and plays nicely alongside the sweetness. Underlying tastes of vanilla and oak. Sweet, fruity finish with a lingering taste of cane sugar.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: Quite nice! A superb creation. Can I take away PBR’s blue ribbon and give it to this beer?
