Description
The “Struise” concept is based on creativity, innovation, quality, sustainability and friendship. We started developing beers anno 2001, at a holiday resort in the village of Lo-Reninge, in a small barn at an ostrich farm called “De Noordhoek”. The first beer we ever developed there, was an Old Style wheat-beer, called “Struise Witte”. The name “Struise” is taken from Flemish slang for ostrich. Our brewery coat of arms takes it a step further and features a proud ostrich amongst knight’s helmet, shield and feathers.
Back in 2003 we decided to go commercial with our latest creation, a Belgian Dark Strong Ale called “Pannepot”. Not with an own installation, for that we did not have the money yet, however, we proceeded as gipsy brewers. First at the Coulier Brewery and later at the nearby Deca Brewery in Woesten / Vleteren. In 2009, we moved to a school facility in the village of Oostvleteren, and where we’ve been brewing our beers independently since 2012.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 09/08/2026.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that veers to the edge.
Nose is dusty fruit, oxidised notes, dates, tobacco, light booze.
Taste comprises tangy fruits, dates, vinous, a touch harsh, tobacco, figs.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, drying close with a light ripple of booze.
So so .. a touch harsh and clumsy.

200ml draught, shared with Finn at Den Gode Nabo. Black in the glass, poor lacing, missing head. Fine roasted chocolate malts on the nose. The flavoured profile has got moments of black chocolate, liquorice and Belgian yeast strain. Lingering ending with a spicy note. Well bodied. Nice, not easy to drink though. (Trondheim, 05.08.2026).

"Pannepot - Vintage - 2022", Fläschchen von Belgoshop.de, geleert zu meinem 62. Geburtstag am 18.7.2026. - Schwarzbraun, fast schaumlos. - In der Nase sehr schweres aber flaches dunkles und Röstmalz, sirupartige Malzsüße, Rumrosinen, leise weinige Züge, Anklänge an Maggi, Anis oder Genever. - Antrunk massiv röstmalzig-mokkabitter mit schwerer, gleichwohl nicht dominierender Süße. Dunkle Gewürze, Anklänge an Pflaumenmus, leichte herbale und mild holzige Herbe. Wenig rezent, spürbar alkoholisch. Massiv malzbitterer Abgang mit kühlendem Menthol. - Auch dieser Jahrgang überzeugt mich nicht: das Bier ist trotz erdrückend wuchtiger Malzigkeit merkwürdig flach und mit deutlichen Altersnoten, die von fern an ein Oud Bruin denken lassen, hier jedoch nicht passen. Muß ich kein drittes Mal trinken.
