Dark honey brown, good creamy white head. Berry-like, a bit wheat aroma, notes of banana. Quite acidy-lemony, didn’t expect that from 5.5% beer. Medium-bodied. A bit spicey, wheat cuts the edges. Though candy sugar is added not much sweetness. (7/4/7/4/15 3.7)
Re-rated as "Moeder Lambic Amber", BB 06/2008
Hazy amber color, small white head. Banana aroma with wheaty notes. Very crisp carbonated lemony, slighlty sweet and spicey (orange peel, coriander). Dry wheaty aftertaste. Interesting mix of witbier and hefeweizen. (6/3/7/3/13 3.2)

Almost opaque black, big foamy tanned head. Rye-bread, chocolat, berries, hay and roasted malts in the nose. Full-bodied. Sweet, tickling carbonation. Chocolate, candy sugar, metal notes. Huge ageing potential but didn’t impress me. Don’t believe the hype.

RBSG Thanks to Jens for filling his magic suitcase with exotic brews from afar. A RB European gathering would be a pleasure to attend! This one starts with a murky dark brown pour that fills the rest of the glass with a big frothy off white head. Light malt aroma that is backed up by a moderate sweetness on the tongue. The alcohol is well hidden in this brew, but a bit more complexity would be nice.

2004 Vintage bottle at Delirium Cafe, Brussels, Belgium
Light brown, creamy head, which diminishes totally. Deep brown bodied. Stoutie aroma: heavy malts of coekies, toasted, caramel. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter, somewhat spicy initial flavour. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter (long) finish. Fully bodied. This beer can be situated between a Rochefort 10 and a Westy 12. It has some spiciness as the Westy and has the malts of Rochefort 10. The Struise Brouwers have a recipe for a classic beer as Oerbier, Orval, ...

Re-rate from tap at La Tape, Madrid. Nice red amber clouds with a creamy offwhite head. Light fruity aroma. Dry herbal and berrylike base, a bit perfume, low level Belgian yeast notes. Medium to light dry body, mellow mouthfeel. Pleasant, but Not nearly as interesting as last time I tried it I think. Old rating: 6 3 7 3 14 Tap - sampled at the Copenhagen beerfestival 2005 Slight fruiy tartness in aroma. Cloudy yellow, creamy head. Fruity and spongy (in a good way) flavor, quite refreshing. Sparkly mouthfeel.

Cloudy yellow, whipped cream head. Nice texture, full candy banana, but not overdone, nice balance. Need a full sample of this one :-)

2004 bottle provided by Rastacouere at the Mondial Ratebeer Tasting, 6/4/2005.
Hazy, drab-olive brown. Very earthy toned and resembling the Trappist beers exactly. Initial medium-sized beige head recedes slowly to cover/ring, leaving little lacing. Raspberries, fresh and juicy, in the aroma, with deep, richly extracted brown malts and a smooth Belgian yeast. Further sniffing provides more brown sugar, toffee, barley and yeast. I love it! Very strong aroma. Sweet toffee and brown sugar-like maltiness to start the flavor, light balancing bitterness and omnipresent yeast. Just beautiful and artfully done. Tannins provide light tartness, some brown tea-leaves towards the end and an easygoing, yet full body and mouthfeel. Low carbonation, no alcohol noted, which is impressive, because I can find it in Westy 12 and Rocheforte 10. Caramelly malt is decidedly malty, not sugary. Vanilla essences linger on. . .I think I like this better than Rocheforte 10 and about as much as Westy 12, mabye more.

Original rating: Muddy brown colour like chocolate fudge. Large, dense head. Voluptuous aroma - figs, milk chocolate, sherry, alcohol, fruitcake, demerara, double devonshire cream...dessert in a glass. Silky sweet palate - this beer glides effortlessly like Lijiang Yinjiu. A sensual combination of the softest Belgian chocolate, the sweetest dates, whisky nectar - the lush maltiness of Ardbeg without the phenols. Pannepot is evocative - the guilty euphoria of a childhood bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough. This is an artist’s finest hour - a masterpiece.
2006 bottle, consumed in 2012. Dark brown, there was some head early, and it’s opaque I think with yeast. The aroma is sweet, sugary malts with light, date and fig dark sugars. Silky sweet, very smooth. There are some soy sauce notes from oxidation, but a very refined beer with a lot of luscious sweet sugars. This is very good, although I don’t like it as much as a fresh Pannepot. 3-8-9-4-17 = 4.1
