In the early days of Struise, Pannepot had a few different versions. Pannepot (regular) / pannepeut (slightly less rosted malts) , Pannepot Reserva (aged on wine barrels), and pannepot Grand Reserva (aged on wine + calvados barrels) . Other barrel types ( such as Port) were released under the 'Pannepot Special Reserva' brand.

Over time, things have gotten a bit less clear, and now special versions have also been released as Pannepot Reserva, whilst some red wine barrel aged versions have been released under 'Pannepot Special Reserva' .

We - The Belgian Admins of Brewver - have decided to keep this entry only for the Wine BA versions of Pannepot. Either marketed as Reserva or Special reserva (essentially the same beer, different batch). If you happen to know the specific barrel (which was sometimes stated, but not always) you can rate that as a batch here. For other versions ( Bourbon BA, for instance) there's another entry.

Bottled 330ml (vintage 2014, Beerdome)
Dark almost opaque ruby colour, small steady beige head. Toasted, red wineous nose with some wood and earthy notes. Light to medium-bodied. Tart, wineous, tannines, toasty malts, dark fruits, wood in the flavour. I wonder if this has been so tart (tanniney) all the time. Now like drinking complex Flemish brown ale.

29 December 2018. Christmas beer evening; shared with Anke. Bottle from Dranken Geers. Vintage 2014. Pours hazy dark brown, red hue, with a very thin, lasting, foamy, tan head. Intense & rich aroma of port, walnut, red grape, blue plum, oak, sherry, dried prune, fig, fruit cake, raisin, blackcurrant, and faint green apple (acetaldehyde). Taste is light fruity sweet, dried prune, plum & red grape, very wine- or port-like, becoming medium fruity sour, some blackcurrant in the back; walnutty & woody bitter edge, very slightly toasty, hint of caramel. Tartness & fruity character remain in the dryish, peppery hoppy finish, lingering red fruits & wood, and a subtle dash of warming alcohol keeping a nice balance between red wine & port. Full body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. A true masterpiece, although I'm not the biggest fan of wine...

0,33 l bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with small light tan quickly dissipating head. Aroma is woody, caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, toasted malt, dried fruit, vinous, very lightly sour and some alcohol. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is full, texture sticky and carbonation average. Finish is very long, dry, caramel and vanilla, medium sour and quite strong tannin bitterness. Vinous kind of sourness lingers for a while. Excellent.

Bottle 2014. Deep brown color, with a yellowish beige head. Aroma is spicy, toffee, licorice, dried fruits. Taste reveals similar notes, with a vinous touch. Medium carbonation, more than other long barrel aged versions. Very very good!
