Dark brown strong ale (Pannepot) brewed for the 10th anniversary of "I'Abbaye des Saveurs," Lille, France. Imagine for a second you have a beer that is descent enough to age on an oak barrel that once carried wine made from Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel grapes. And if that isn't good enough, let that same audacious beer mature on a delicate style of Burgundy wine barrel, the essence of Pinot Noir to Nuits-St.-Georges, an appellation often known for darker, more tannic red wines. Right, I've got your attention now! Where some brewers blend, Struise married Burgundy & Malaga through the simultaneous maturation of Pannepot. A very limited edition was bottled as CapSoul in 75cl bottles. Enjoy

Tasting at Bruce’s. Thanks to Paul. Dark brown beer with a yellowish tan head. Spicy estery nose. Airy palate, semi dry and a little soft. Smooth malts, a little cream. Lots of spicy bubblegum. Astonishingly little barrel or red wine character after it’s long maturation. Dry finish. It’s certainly drinkable but left me with on overall impression of ho-hum.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The nose is smooth, juicy, jammy, vinous, Vimto, cherry, red grape skin, blackcurrant and a touch of spice. The taste is smooth, roasty, earth mild spice, Vimto, jammy fruits, creamy, wood, light vanilla, cocoa and berry with a smooth finish. Fulsome body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Smooth and well-rounded.
