2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
NorCal tasting Apr 07 - I think I’ve hit the low spot for Petrus. While normally I find their beers above average, this is just okay. A weak of aroma of metallic malts and yeast and good bit of iced tea thrown in. Flavors were malt astringent, with caramel and toffee smoothing things out to make it drinkable, but nothing near what it could be.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at the Fat Belgian. Reddish-orange with a moderate, lingering head. Aroma and flavour both hold notes of sweet malt, caramel and spice (clove, cinnamon). Body is on the thin side. Alright, but I’d hoped for a little more character.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark amber with a huge and creamy head. The aroma has notes of caramel and spice. The mouth feel is carbonated, and I don’t think it’s becoming in this beer. The flavour is slightly sweet with notes of caramel, clove, coriander and candy sugar, and the finish is dry/bitter.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
lovely pour, nice head dark body, crisp slightly tart flkavour, somewhat metalic, and malty, decnt beer but not my fav of the petrus bunch
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
11.2 oz bottle pours a dull yet clear hue of pure copper with huge tan head. The aroma has big English Noble hoppiness some soft spices and an unmistakable honey note. The flavor seems to center around honey and then there’s tart grapes, a dash of sweet malts and dark fruitiness rounding it out. After drinking my way about half way through I started to notice a semi sweet caramel flavor that added a really nice touch.
