Commercial Description:
Christoffel Robertus is a low-fermenting ruby-red beer, brewed in the Münchener-style. It is a malty, fresh beer with a light sweetness. The typical hopbitterness found in Blond, is very lightly present in Robertus. The use of an extensive amount of selected barley gives Robertus the special malty taste and aroma.

Poured a dark bronze color, with a large yet rapidly fading head. Citric, tart, fruity and somewhat sour aroma - odd, but complex and balanced. The flavor starts out sweet & sour, then finishes very malty with caramel sweetness and a long lingering, tart sourness. Good balance. Mouthfeel was solid, could use a bit more carbonation though. You don’t see much Vienna Sours around here and this one is surprisingly good.

Draught at KØ07. Seemingly clear chestnut colour. Big stable head. Soapy, perfumy aroma. The flavour is sweet, but with OK sourness to balance. A bit too sour for me, actually.

(330 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Pretty nice, a little different for the style...Pours a murky orangish-brown with about one finger of khaki head. Head recedes to a thin, somewhat globby cap. Aroma is quite honeyish and sweet, coupled with something else sort of like licorice. Mouthfeel quite full, but at the same time a little loose. Flavor is sort of honeyish and sweet, coupled with that licorice-like note. Some bitterness overlays. Has a touch of German lager smokiness. This beer reminds more of both a bock (honey) and an altbier (licorice) than a Vienna (caramel).

Lovely ruby beer, full colour. Lots of fruit, cherries and strawberries. Plenty of malt and flowery hops, too. But it is rather sweet, so I wouldn’t want more than one.

Nez malté de caramel doux légèrement rôti (notes de toffee) et léger de miel, léger de levures fruitées (raisins aux notes vineuses, traces de framboises et de cerises), de pain et de houblon floral (notes herbeuses) avec des notes de noix. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement bas-moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse et légèrement sirupeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (léger de raisins aux notes vineuses, faibles notes de cerises, traces de framboises) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté de caramel sucré légèrement rôti (notes de toffee terreux et de sucre brun, traces de miel) avec un léger goût de pain parallèlement à une moyenne amertume de houblon floral et herbeux (notes terreuses) et accompagné jusqu’en finale d’un léger goût de noix asséchant et quelques notes de levures épicées (poivre). Post-goût moyen-long et aux notes sèches, moyennement amer de houblon floral et herbeux (notes terreuses), de rôti et de levures avec une légère aigreur fruitée (moût de raisins).
