petrus-winter-aleMerry Christmas to all! This holiday package was the last in the store where I purchased it, and it was well worth it. The color is a nice red, my favorite, and a creamy head with lots of aroma. The body is well saturated with caramel malts, and lots of carbonation. This really had the carbonation, aroma, and some taste of champagne, unusual for our Christmas celebrations at least. The body was very rich with great caramel notes before the hops and that very dry finish cleansed the taste off the pallet. The dryness really threw off the taste of those great malts, but it was an unusual taste that I could well stand again for some winter celebrations. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Specs: 750mL
