Established in 2003
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.

Bottle from Bow Street Beverage, Portland, ME, drunk 11/16/25. As pictured.
Strong Scotch nose but not domineering. Spice, pepper, caramel and chocolate with light vanilla and oak. Nice balance. Easygoing at this point with no alcohol or any sharpness anywhere.
I think, had I not just had Froggie a few days ago, this would have nearly blown me away, but it pales in comparison to Froggie from the same vintage. Yet still lovely, with no aggressive anything and a good integration of peat and Scotch and oak. Tending dry at this point, but far from thin, with a slightly chewy at points body. No oxidation, no alcohol. Its past its peak but it's not very tired yet.

3 year old 11.2oz bottle. A pinch oxidized. Sweet, heavy, rich...of course. Thick chocolate fudge, the Belgian yeast gives it fruity depth, almost a port like undertone. Even with that, a little bit one note, too big for its own good. Still enjoyable.
