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 chocolate amber from small swing-top bottle. Aroma of malt liquor (like Singha, specifically). Body is thin, with flavor of slightly below-average amber ale mixed with old limes. Not impressed. Definitely not worth $4.50 a bottle.

Bottle 2 litres, at home. Redbrown with off-shite head, quickly disappearing. Aroma and taste of malt, brown sugar, light fruity. Light bitter. All in all to sweet.

A towering creamt light tan head is formed on top of a murky red-brown body. The aroma is full of nutmeg, sweetnees, and some white toast. The flavor is more fruity with the spiciness taking a back seat. The bready toast is still present as is some light caramel. Toffee really comes out after the swallow. Very soft palate, medium body. Quite nice.

Looks like tea brewing in the sun with a big diminishing head. Malts in the aroma, maybe a little hop in the nose. Light in the flavor, sweet malts through and through. I get a little hop bite in the end a little acidic. A pleasant beer, drinkable.

Pours very pretty; clinging white head. Not much nose on it. Malty sweet taste. Pretty good, and I usually don’t like Viennas. Not sure I understand "double malted".

A bit o’ caramel malt, and nutmeg, and slightly flower petal hop (delicate and with turned earth reality all at the same time), this is a great vienna. Slightly thin, though still a bit oily and clearly in style (and boatloads better than most Viennas) - in fact, the maltiness here is very traditional, less agressively hopped than some of the high-scoring American versions (which I love).

nowhere near as good as the blonde. a SHAME... I had such high hopes for this one.

Bottle (BB 02/05). Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, grain, cookie), lightly hoppy (flowers), trace yeast (horseblanket), with hints of allspice and spruce. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, slightly metallic. Slightly unpleasant sour twang (despite being fresh enough) hurts the flavor score for me. But there are some intriguing background notes in the aroma that keep this interesting (winter holiday smells...pumpkin pie spices and evergreens).
