68/100) Petrus Pack 2

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Dubbel Bruin, Oud Bruin, Aged Red

Here's the latter half of the beer and key-toting St. Peter, Petrus beer six-pack. These are the darker and even barrel-aged bottles. I really like the Aged Red's bottle art. The barrel and flowers look lovely against that deep red backdrop.

Dubbel Bruin) had the aroma of brown sugar candy. The amount of bubbles was just right, not enough to create a massive head, but the kind that can form a nice foam head when you swirl it. The flavors were rather direct, but they resulted in a subdued yet inviting dark ale's flavor profile complete with light caramels and dark fruits. ☆☆☆☆

Oud Bruin) was lightly tart and moderately enjoyable. Since it was not the most robust Oud Bruin I've had, the flavors came across as weak to me. Still, I suppose it could serve as a sour gateway for my uninitiated friends. ☆☆☆

Aged Red) smelled of bing cherries, and the flavors profile flaunted an elixir of cherries and tartness. The sour on the finish compounded as I had more. Initially, I really liked it, but towards the end, I grew weary of that bite. The aroma was just lovely though. I could have sniffed at it all night, and had been content just sipping it slowly.  ☆☆☆☆
