Can’t really say why, but something about the bubblegum, sweet malts, and spices really make this my favorite of the Petrus lineup. Yeasty and raisiny as well. Its like candy! Good stuff when you can get it!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
I’ve had this beer a couple of times. Be careful about half of them have had questionable quality. Pours a murky amber with a frothy light brown head. Musty, tart raisin, cinnamon aroma. Fairly thin, watery body with a full, frothy carbonation. A muddy caramel malt and chocolate flavor, with a bitter orange peel finish. Mediocre flavors and poorly made.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, bought @ Dagli’ Brugsen, Nordborg.
Pours brown amber with a giant head. It’s creamy on the top with large bubbles nearer the liquid. Aroma has lots of raisins, light fruity tartness, very spicy, some liqourice. Medium creaminess, light carbonation with small bubbles. Perhaps it’s slightly thin. Flavour is sweet, light chocolate, good Christmas spiciness. Light raisin.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a small bottle purchased at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a orange-amber body with a thick fizzy white head. Over aged and over carbonated perhaps. Citrus, caramel, grainy and mildly sour. This beer needed less time in the cellar and more time off the back of my tongue.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
11.2 oz bottle...pours an amber color w/ a two finger, fizzy off-white head. It has a caramel and toasted malt nose, mixed with some bready yeast. The flavor citrus mixed with some grains, and some spicing. I was disappointed that the malt in the nose didn’t come through in the flavor. There is a sourness on the front palate from the citrus that lingers for a bit before you get a sense of some alcohol on the back palate. Very average Belgian Ale...
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
This started out nice, I really enjoyed what the nose had to offer with some lighter fruit notes and some lemony acidity I have come to know from Petrus. The flavor is thrown off though, slightly sour, but really high in acidity, a little higher in the carbonation levels, and then the spices hit your toungue, and it makes for a really tough mouthfeel, not very enjoyable.
