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. MPA (487), Nørrebro(formerly Aalborg), Denmark
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Dark with big, brownish head. Sweet caramel aroma with elements of molasses and dark fruit. Fruity flavour consisting mainly of dark, ripe fruits bu also with a slight hint of peaches. Heavy dosage of caramel, molasses, brown sugar and plain ol’ sweet malt as well. I like it a lot as I like all incarnations of this truly great classic. Thx J & M (and C & U).

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 26, 2008 Bottle at Volo Cafe, Aug. 2008. Certainly, this beer is very good, though it gets too much attention in my mind. The colour is beautiful brown, with a strong, persistent head. I like the aroma too: sweet, with dark sugars, raisin, vanilla. The flavour is far too sweet; it overwhelms the other complex flavours: raisin, brown sugar, caramel and black licorice. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Thanks to Oslo and Guerde. Sparkling brown in color with a small tannish head with a bit of lacing. Tart yet sweet aroma with a touch of dark fruit. The tartness follows to the taste as does the hint of sweet malt with a spice/clove overtone and some hotness as well as vinegar. cyrenaica (440), Milton, Ontario, Canada

10% ABV
Best Before Date: November 30, 2012
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.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 11, 2008 Amber red color with a tan head that quickly dissipates to a ring around the glass. Smell is of green apple, spices, and some wood. Taste consists of caramel, toffee, spices, clove, but this is also very metallic; even moreso than the regular reserva. Light bodied with a rather high carbonation. I’d try this again, but I don’t know that I’d seek it out. It seems like I’d just stick with regular Pannepot over any of the reservas. Thanks to pepsican for the sample. jfb (420), Weihenstephan, Germany
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2009 (bottle, 2006) pours the darkest ruby colour with a dense, short-lived beige head. aroma of dark fruits, caramel and dark chocolate, sweet spices, noteably cinnamon, clove and vanilla, with some oaky overtones, alcohol and perhaps a few hints of brown sugar. flavour is less spicy than the aroma, with strong notes of oak and some yeast and a long, lightly sour grainy finish, no alcohol presence at all. medium to strong body with very smooth carbonation - very easy drinking!
