Petra Escura Premium

Brewed by Cervejaria Petrópolis
Style: Schwarzbier
Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil

Longneck bottle poured into a dimpled mug. Light textured deep dark brown beer, formed a thick but evanescent beige head, with some good lacing. Predominant smell and taste is a mixture of roasted malt and black coffee, with added sweetness that brings to mind chocolate. Slightly metallic, with a very short finish. Watery and acidic. Very drinkable and pleasant. Perfectly suited for the tropical climate.

Bottled. A dark beer with a big beige head. Aroma is roasted malt with notes of coffee. Taste is also roasted malt and coffee. Thin to medium body

Bottle@Home, thanks Russo. Herbal/grassy hops in the aroma. Ruby colour, light brown head, very nice lace. Sweet, light sugary, hints of chocolate and coffee, light bitter. Smooth, more alcoholic than expected. Highly drinkable. Don’t understand the low ratings.

Coloração bonita e espuma duradoura, mas perde no paladar que não se define entre doce e aguado.

Bottle, June 08. Opaque black color with a medium bubbly beige/ tan head that disapears a tad too quickly. Aroma is slight caramel, a bit methallic and oxidized. Flavor is of caramel, some toffee, grainy with some toast. Some industrial skunk, but not that bad. A bit, just a bit, too sweet. MF medium to light, refreshing with an abrupt finish. Not bad for and industrial lager. A decent, dark industrial schwarz.

Bottle: Like the boy who cried wolf, looks daunting, turns out weak and plain.

Bottle 0,335L. Very deep dark brown body. Dark beige foam, indeed a little dense, but not much persistent. Medium to strong roasted malt smell. Some body density going on nicely. Nice roasted malt taste and bitterness, but not much balanced. Caramel shows up weakly. Medium bitter aftertaste, not very lasting. Nice beer. / Corpo marrom escuro bem profundo. Espuma bege escura, realmente um pouco densa, mas não muito persistente. Médioa a forte cheiro de malte torrado. Bom gosto e amargor de malte torrado, notas de caramelo aparecendo pouco, não muito bem balanceado. Retrogosto amargo médio, não dura muito. Boa cerveja.

Se a aparência é até agradável, com creme denso e pouco consistente, o aroma é principalmente o sabor decepcionam. Fraca, aguada, azeda e excessivamente caramelada e doce.
