Commercial Description:
The Pannepot Reserva was an idea from my brew collegue Carlo who wanted to age Pannepot in genuine French oak barrels (barrique 225 liters). We have brewed 90HL at the end of 2005 which has been aging on oak ever since (14 months). 30 Hl was bottled Tuesday 8th May 2007. 60Hl has been transferred now to second hand calvados oak vessels and will be bottled again early autumn 2007, we will name that batch Pannepot Grand Reserva. As quality and results rule at Struise, the Reserva was already brewed again and aging on oak.
Latest bottling: april 08

A dark brown belgian ale full of aroma representing oaked age and sweet malty fruit. Taste is full of bite in the use of bready yeast, soury sensibility, and woody brown sugar. Char is noticeable from the calvados barrels. Great retention and full head. The best of the three Pannepots.

Thanks to olso2116 for sharing this treat! I had been rating for about a month when I had this beer, so my notes were a bit skeletal. The beer was hazy dark brown with an ample amount of tan head. The aroma was complex, with some spices, mild sweet fruit, and alcohol. The flavor was similar, but I also picked up on some mild oaky sourness, along with something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on... It might have been cardamom. Definitely would like to try again.

2006 dark brown with creamy beige head Aroma complex, vanila, slight fruitiness, The flavor also has a lot going on. Sweetness of a caramal, slight woodiness and fruitiness. Very flavorful beer. One to sit and savour. Alcohol provides a warming sensation but doesn’t disruspt the taste. Very nice

(3/4/08) Bottle shared with some American guy whose name I can’t remember at Kulminator in Antwerp. 2006 bottle. Very dark brown, almost opaque, with a medium beige head. Vinous fruity (raisins, prunes) nose with malt and hints of yeast and alcohol. Sweet flavor with malt, caramel, dried fruits and hints of wood. A semi-dry finish with some spice and alcohol. Medium to full body. Great stuff.

750mL bottle, thanks to my cousin (ggaughan). Poured deep chestnut colored, with a huge, frothy tan head and active carbonation. Earthy, herbal aroma with anise, oak, ginger, yeast, and dark fruit. Flavor of dried fruit, herbs, spice, oak, nuts, and cocoa. Warming alcohol in the finish. Really nice beer, I can’t wait to try it again alongside the other Pannepots (and hopefully the Grand Reserva as well).

Poured from a 750 ml bottle; vintage 2006, thanks to Zac. Mahogany hued and skinned with a thin rim of beige. Aroma is very deep; buttery brandy, vanilla, banana, chocolate, and caramel; hints of bubblegum and plenty of extraneous sweetness and rum like alcohol. Flavor is both zesty and rich, with a lovely balance of honey, peppermint, cocoa, honey, and golden fruit. Slightly sandy, with hints of cherry cola, licorice, brown spices, and tropical vinousness. Canned peaches. Layers unfold at a slow, leisurely speed. Chocolate. Hazelnuts. Red apple. Delicate and bold. Palate is brisk but full in body; slightly sour, and mildly acidic. Finish is vinous and slightly tart, with raspberry, pear, cherry, and chocolate; nut skins, and some alcohol. Sticky and crisp at the same time, and thoroughly generous in the mouth. Beautiful and refined; deep as the universe.

750ml bottle generously shared by hellomynameis. Lots of candied fruit on the nose. Brown sugar. Alcohol, but not in a bad way. Some light, nutty sherry notes. A touch of cinnamon and ginger. Spicy yeast with just a touch of moist oak. Pours thick, dark copper with rich amber highlights topped off by a thin khaki head. Alcohol soaked figs and dates initially on the tongue. Plenty of yeasty spice, brown sugar, wood. Quite tasty, but there’s an odd copper note that I can’t quite shake. Light toasted bread. Creamy on the tongue. Lush and silky mouthfeel. Hmmm. Certainly a beer to make me think. Thanks Zac
