Sep 26, 2008 11.2 oz bottle from Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL)-Pours a hazy orangish amber with a nice tight off white head. Aroma of sourness, malt, and caramel. Taste of the same with a bit of spices and fruit. This medium bodied brew is a bit thin for a Winter. Was expecting a lot more flavor and body. Very basic.

Jul 30, 2008 Dangerous cork missile resulted in lots of overflowing foam from the bottle. Spicy orange brown color with a pillowy cream colored head. Doesn’t lacy, pulls down at the sides leaving a billowy mountain in the middle. Spicy winteriness, lots of bubbling carbonation. Orange and citrus also present. A nice maltiness with strong spices, coriander and orange rind sting with the carbonation to a mildly warming alcohol finish. A little simple, but a great winter warmer.

Jul 13, 2008 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!

Jun 24, 2008 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.
