This poured dark brown with a tan head which produced great lacing. Nose was of dark fruit, brown sugar, oak and spices. Taste was of pepper and spices with vinous fruit. Very complex. Mouthfeel was medium with a dry finish and some alcohol noticeable. Incredible stuff! RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Had bottle at Delerium Tremens on 6/22. One of the best beers I’ve ever head. Aroma of dark fruits, dark caramel, spice, and licorice. Taste is even better, sweet, but with notes of wine, wood, spice, and dark fruits. An exceptional, exceptional beer.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Thanks to MaltOMeal for this 2006 bottle! Shared with MaltOMeal and thickfreakness. Pours a dark brown with a tan head that leaves pretty lacing. Nose is brown sugar, pitted dark fruits, oak and winter spices, including nutmeg. Strong fruit flavor of plums and figs. Sugar and white pepper give extra levels to this beer. Palate has a rich sweetness and covering mouthfeel. This is a well layered beer...enjoyed every sip. Thanks for sharing Bill.

Sweetness balanced with oak and lots of alcohol. Similar to the original but a bit sweeter. Still a nice beer BelgiskOlklub (403), Viby J, Denmark

Perfect large creamy light brown head with excellent lacing. Lightly cloudy dark brown body. Heavy malt aroma of caramel and grain, oak barrels, heavy alcohol and light hops, brown sugar and spiced - coriander? Full creamy body and soft carbonation. Heavy sweet flavor and light bitter. A great beer. bgburdman9 (823), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 28, 2008 An old rating i finally got to entering. Aroma was a little oaky, malty, belgian yeast. A lighter body than the regular pannepot but overall not as good as the regular. Still a great beer. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Syntetic cork Dark chestnut color with a rocky big head, maybe exaggerated carbonation. Aroma of malt, caramel, some spices and light raisins, woody and sweet. Full bodied, with a powerful caramel flavor, quite sweet, with some woody touch that makes it more complex, and the alcohol is well hidden. Some sweet liquorice is evident mostly at the end. Excellent. badbeer (433), Iowa, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 11, 2008 Reddish brown color with a beige head and good retention. Aromas of clove, cinnamon, strawberries, and figs. Tastes of caramel, spices, dark fruits, and apples. Unfortunately the taste is also a bit metallic, so I’ll take away some for that. Medium body and carbonation. An enjoyable beer, and without the metallic tastes to it, would be much better.
