Petrus

◎ Aussehen

Deep copper-brown color with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head. The foam shows fine Schaumhaftung, clinging to the glass in distinct rings as you drink. Moderate carbonation creates a gentle effervescence beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced caramel sweetness underscored by roasted malt character. Subtle toasted bread notes emerge alongside hints of dark fruit esters, while Magnum and Mandarina Bavaria hops contribute a gentle herbal and citrus backdrop without dominating the malt-driven profile.

◐ Geschmack

A full-bodied entry delivers rich caramel and roasted malt flavors that coat the palate with smooth, sweet maltiness. The mid-palate showcases balanced toasted character with developing dark fruit notes, while the moderate IBU of 25 provides restrained bitterness that complements rather than challenges the malt foundation. The higher alcohol presence (17°P) becomes apparent in the warmth and slight boozy character.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with residual caramel and roasted malt gradually fading into a dry, slightly toasty aftertaste. Alcohol warmth persists pleasantly without harshness.
