33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild metallic and yeasty. Mild fruity flavoured. Metallic and caramelish. Dry and phenolic into the finish.

tennessejed420 (838) - Denver, Colorado, USA - APR 23, 2010
12 oz. bottle. From petrus variety pack, and already disappointed due to the price of 6 bottle and seeing the rating of each on ratebeer. Pours a deep murky orange copper, with off white bubbly head. Aroma of spiced milk, with cookie cream and clove. Tastes like milky dough, spiced lightly with wheat like flavors, medium bodied very drinkable and refreshing. Some deep doughy / wheat / yeast like flavors but still crisp and refreshing, not the greatest but seems underrated on here.

GG (1980) - NorCal, California, USA - APR 16, 2010
Petrus Collection pack -

Aroma - sweetned aroma, with little to no direction . Some light apple juice, a touch of yeast, a hint of spice.

Appearance - amber body, clear with a white head.

Taste - wet papery malts, which tells me it’s probably past it’s prime...light sweetness to it, some cinnamon/nutmeg kind of spice on the finish

Palate - light bodied, leaning towards the over-carbonation character but not quite there...kinda thin

Overall - pretty blah really...nothing special about Petrus’ Speciale

pepsiedcan (1041) - The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA - APR 15, 2010
Amber pour with a small sized off white head. Aroma is up front red sucker. Intense. Flavor has a lot more toffee in it than I thought it would from the nose. Just a bit of that red candy sweetness in the back. Kind of thin finish.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - APR 3, 2010
Pours a hazy medium orangish amber color. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty, with a touch of fruit. Flavor is a nice mixture of malts and fruits.

daknole (5474) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - MAR 5, 2010
Gold pour. Small white head. Aroma is a mix of sweet belgian matls and vinegar. WHAT? yes. Flavor? Its much the same with some toothpicks mixed in. Damn, not good.

markas101 (1438) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2010
33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Deep golden, almost amber colour, with a thick creamy head. Definite blue cheese aroma (perhaps a testament to how long the store had it). Mild flavor, a hint of malt on the finish, otherwise uninteresting.
