Petrus Speciale

Overall a rather disappointing experience. Special? I don’t think so. Belgian Dark? Not in my book.

Poured into the Brasserie de l’Abbaye des Rocs chalice I get a golden body with thin, watery lacing. That’s fitting because the whole experience is somewhat thin and watery. Lack of body, taste and alcohol makes for a letdown. Dry bitters in the taste and the finish, a metallic twang and little less apart from some citrus (mainly lemon) notes.

It lacks a lot of the sweet and spice notes and the body is woefully weak for the style. Tasted like a watered down strong Euro Lager.
