Christoffel Robertus

Brewed by Sint Christoffel Bier
Style: Vienna
Roermond, Netherlands

If this is a vienna it’s an absolute ball tearer for the style. Standard colour. Fruity nose with some darker malts lurking. Malts carry through to the palate nicely. Really does play above its weight for the style. (e2.60 @ Café Wildeman)

Hazy, dark copper color, with minimal head and lacing. Semi-sweet malty aroma, and some floral, fruity notes hanging around there, as well. Prominent initial malty/fruity taste, with bitterness taking over in the end. A good, interesting beer.

Red-brown color. Aroma and flavor, it’s a quite simple beer; it has a dry caramel flavor, it’s balanced, and there is not much more.

Dark brown-amber color; small head. This beer is based on the caramel (aroma and taste), but it has much more malt taste than most of the similar beers, giving to it a particularly rich body. Good bitterness level, with some hidden hop quality, and full mouth still in the end. A very good example.

This was quite a beer indeed. Aroma is christoffel hops peppery toffee malts really outstanding. Taste is similar with a great amount of bitterness and balanced alround excellent flavour.

Bottle: brown clear like colour with a white head. Aroma is slightly roasted candies with some fruity notes. Maybe even some spicy notes as well. Light body. Flavour is predominately sweet, with soft bitter notes. Pleasant but quickly disappearing finish.

Pours a rich copper brown with a thick, puffy, light tan head. Malt and fruit aroma. Flavor is also sweet fruity and malty with a somewhat strange eartly tone.

reddish appearance decent head with malty nose, malty taste, decent beer, not extraordinary

Bottle at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Reddish amber with a large white foma. Toasted malts, fudge and grass in the aroma. Malty flavour of toasted bread, toffee and caramel. Dark bread and light chocolate in the long aftertaste.
