Pannepeut 2007
Price: Not sold by PolyBEER
In the early days of Pannepeut this beer was closely related to the regular version, namely, the Pannepot. Both beers were set apart mainly by usage of different types of sugar: while the regular version contains candi sugar, Pannepot was based on cane sugar. Later on, to avoid confusion with Pannepot, the spelling of Pannepot has been changed into Pannepot whose recipe was gradually changing in a way that the beer evolved from stout-like ale to a soft tasting ale in trappist style.

Vintage 2007 into chalice. Garnet brown with reddish hue and very unstable tan head that instantly dissipates. Complete absence of lacing does not add positively to visual aspects of the beer. The cane sugar based variant hence the poor head retention is not surprising, as cane sugar is supposedly inferior to candi sugar that adds to a beer head retention. Aromas are of chocolate coated dark fruit (dried cherries, prunes), sugar and spicy alcohol. Flavor dept consists of chocolate covered dry cherries and prunes, sugar and bread crust bitter finish counteracting the sweetened fruity tartness. Medium bodied with just about the right amount of carbonation the beer is almost prickly but never such. Similar to but thinner than regular Pannepot, lacking its fullness, smoothness and visual appearance.
