Our PGR has aged for 24 months on oak barrels and has been bottled for the first time on the 27th of December 2007. The main difference with the Pannepot Reserva is that PGR matured the last ten months on Calvados oak barrels, adding extra complexity to the beer. We dedicate this beer as a tribute to Jeppe & Michael of Ølbutikken in Denmark. Those gentlemen were the first to discover our beers on an International basis back in 2004 and are responsable somehow for our beers being all over the globe since then. As a token of gratitude towards Jeppe & Michael, the first shipment of PGR was scheduled to Ølbutikken so they could be the first to launch its commercialisation.

Another pleasing acquisition from a Belgian retailer, actually excited about this one. Pannepot aged in cognac barrels. Holy crap. I have a 33 cl bottle brewed in March of 2020, vintage 2018. Go figure. The Trappistes Rochefort glass is brought out on this tasting. The arrival is caramel-colored with a very little head to determine. The nose is ripe fruit, biscuit and indeterminate alcohol. A drink, oh my, this is fine. Booze soaked fruit cake, full grain bread, dates, a bit of cane syrup, oak, black raisins, all with a nice bitterness at the end. Rich and full. I will be remembering this one for awhile.

Bottle @ Belgium. Pours amber copper with a small collapsing white head. Spices, nutmeg, dark fruit and wood. Caramel, licorice and a whiff of overripe fruit. Low carbonation. Soft. Nice sipper.
