Panetun

Tap to rate

A dark bock at 7.6% modelled on Milanese panettone: raisins, orange peel, bourbon vanilla, lactose and the cake itself go into the brew. Vanilla, raisins and candied citrus peel carry the aroma, with caramel and cereal notes underneath, and the colour is a deep dark red. Vetra created it as a beer for the winter holidays.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Panetun

◎ Appearance

Deep dark red colour with garnet highlights when held to light, characteristic of a well-crafted bock. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation evident throughout. The clarity is good, allowing the rich hue to shine through without cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with candied citrus peel and dried raisins, followed by bourbon vanilla that softens the top notes. Underneath sits a bready, caramel sweetness from the Malz base, with subtle cereal undertones that anchor the composition. The overall impression is of a holiday spice cake rendered in aromatic form.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with the lactose contributing a silken texture and subtle sweetness. Mid-palate reveals layered flavours: candied orange, vanilla, and raisin notes merge with gentle caramel and toasted cereal character. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the adjunct complexity to dominate rather than challenge.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with vanilla and raisin notes lingering pleasantly alongside a dry cereal minerality. A gentle warmth from the 7.6% ABV fades gradually without harshness.
