Christoffel Robertus

Brewed by Sint Christoffel Bier
Style: Vienna
Roermond, Netherlands

On tap. Clear reddish color. Low carbonation, no head. Nutty aroma. Sour taste and a dry finish.

Pours a dark reddish colour. Smells like a plain dark beer, nothing special. Small head. Tastes of burnt caramel, nuts. Long-lasting bitter aftertaste. Thin and bubbly on the tongue. Overall, nothing special for a dark beer.

This beer was different, but enough that I actually liked it. Pours to a cloudy brownish gold, with an off-white head that dissipates soon, but leaves good lacing. Initial aroma is malty sweetness, nuts and caramel, but as the glass warms, the aroma is much more fruity, mostly apples and grapes. Flavor is a sour fruit, again, apples and grapes, and the finish is sour and dry, but good. It’s a shame this is not made any longer.

Red-brown colour with slight off-white head that dissappears quickly. Weak fruity aroma with malty sweetness. The mouthfeel is spritzy, and the taste is a bit nutty with caramel sweetness.

(Bottle, best before 11/04) Pours a amber-brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, smokiness, basement, fruity, and a hint of cocoa. Flavor of toasted bread, marzipan, and some cherry.

cloudy brown with visibile particles, minimal head. palmagranet aroma, taste similar. kind of thin palate, blond was more interesting.

bottle. deep amber color. big head. malty sweet nutty aroma. taste is nutty too. bit weak pallete.

Though rather pretty with its deep orange hues and sporting a decent, dense-ish foam, this beer is nothing special to me. What prompted me to jot down a few lines after all was actually its superior mouthfeel -- sort of thick, approaching creamy, and with carbonation levels mercifully lowered.
