This is my first beer from De Struise. I've heard great things about them over the years, specifically about Pannepot. When I saw my store got a drop of their beers I knew I had to grab one of everything. I figured this was the best beer to introduce myself to them with. Let's pop it open and see what it's all about
Pours an opaque medium brown with just a few small beige bubbles and leaves no lacing. A bit of sediment floating around as well
The nose is sweet and fruity as expected, but there's a faint tartness that's giving it some edge. I'm picking up on aromas of brown sugar, molasses, red grape, overripe banana, tannic red wine, caramel, tart cherry, cocoa powder, and leather
The tartness almost evolves into something funky in taste, making this quite unique. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting brown sugar, overripe banana, dark bread, raisin, toffee, black cherry, tobacco, and light molasses. The swallow brings notes of tannic red wine, old leather, prune, brown sugar, molasses, tart cherry, tobacco, cocoa powder, and light toffee
A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a zippy beer. Finishes bone dry with a refreshing tartness
What an introduction to De Struise. Damn, I can't wait to try the other variants I got

Bottle. Thought I had rated this on Ratebeer but apparently not. Dark brown with hints of red not much head unless swirled which I do. Boozy fig brown sugar maple syrup aroma mild herbal finish medium-full body with just enough internal carbo to blend everything. Way too complex at first, but if you don't think about that, you realize it's delicious and you can't stop sipping. EXCELLENT.

This beer pours a deep brown hue and is topped with a couple inches of tan head that leaves nice lacing.
I smell raisin and brown sugar. I get some molasses too.
Taste is It has a pumpernickel bread flavor but sweeter. I get a little fig and date. I get some caramelized sugar. Earthy with some muted spices.
Thin bodied with a thin mouthfeel
Good beer

2021 vintage, calls itself a dark strong ale. Very stouty for a dark strong ale. Strong roasted malt flavour and aroma. Nice beer, but not quite the taste expected

375ml bottle vintage 2021.
Pours dark chestnut with a short head of tan . Minimal retention or lacing. Dark rum, raisins, red apples, clove, faint nutmeg in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft, slickish, chewy mouthfeel. Dark caramel, plump malt, earthy spice on the palate. Finishes a bit sweet and warming.

Poured from the 2011 vintage, 11.2 oz bottle into the test chalice
A - Tawny ruby color, gently carbonated, a ring of mocha, surrounds a few islands in the center.
S - Figs, raisins, molasses, a floral thread includes a bit of lily, and clove.
T - Brown bread, molasses, dark fruit, blackberry reduction, with a solid cigar wrap tobacco element.
M - Lite on the palate, semi sweet start offsets the fear from the aromatics, delightful crisp texture. Finish is surprisingly dry.
Linger is dessert on the dark side.
O - A true delight, delicate and a bit assertive, figgy, with just enough alcohol registering.

330 ml bottle, as Struise Pannepot 2013 Old Fishermans Ale (ale brewed with spices), PNP No. 4 Brown Brew. ABV is 10%. Very dark brown to ruby colour, nearly black. Moderate tan head.

Dark mahogany appearance with a large, dense, tan head and loads of lacing. Aroma is full of spicy goodness and multiple layers of dark, ripe fruit, rum and molasses. The taste marries the fruity, spicy flavors with lush, chocolate/caramel malts. Creamy, full bodied mouthfeel; rich and smooth on the palate. Finishes like a fine dessert wine

A 330ml bottle, 2020 vintage, bottled on 14th July 2020, with a best before date of 14th July 2025. Poured into a Struise tulip glass.
Appearance: Dark brown in colour with a thin beige head that dissipated quickly and left only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, doughy, cake, caramel, clove, candied plum, prune, grape gummy candies, chocolate, coffee, and candi sugar.
Taste: Lightly sweet, yeasty, doughy, slightly boozy, fig, clove, plum, prunes, raisin, toffee, with notes of cocoa and chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall: A little bit too doughy for me, but still enjoyable.
