Petrus Beers

I have covered a couple of these Belgian beers before but not as a group just for them, so please bear with me.  I can not think of a order to do these in, so how about by strength, starting with the weakest first.

Petrus, Speciale, Belgium

 

5.5% deep gold colour with no head, malty aroma, slightly fizzy mellow taste.

Petrus, Oud Bruin, Belgium

 

5.5% deep brown in colour with a good head, aroma is of deep fruits and the taste is sweet but tart.

Petrus, Dubble Bruin, Belgium

6.5%, dark brown with a good head, aroma of roasted malts and fruit, sweet caramel with a bitter aftertaste, good.

Petrus, Blond, Belgium

 

6.6% golden with a good head, sweet aroma, nice crisp taste, was very good with a BBQ.

Petrus, Gouden Tripel, Belgium

 

7.5% cloudy gold with a good head, sweet yeast aroma, slightly bitter but sweet fruity taste, nice but not the best Petrus beer.

Petrus, Aged Red from Belgium

 

8.5% deep red in colour with a nice head, cherry aroma and a cherry flavour and not as acidic as it is supposed to be.

My Book

Well I started to write a book before my stroke, and have only just got around to finishing it yesterday.   The story is ok but as for the English, spelling and maybe the odd repeat, I think that I have done fairly well.

The book is a SF inspired story, about a couple on holiday in France who find a device that allows them to jump almost anywhere on earth.  It also includes drinking tips on the beers of the continent.

I would be pleased if you could take the time to have a read.
