Christoffel Robertus

Brewed by Sint Christoffel Bier
Style: Vienna
Roermond, Netherlands

bottle. Clear brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Aroma of roasetd malts and caramel. Full-bodied, malty with flavours of caramel and roasted malt. Quite spicy with a touch of alcohol and a lingering finish, into which some hops seem to be tuning in.

Cloudy copper color with small head and minimal lacing. Mostly malt taste with light hop bite.

Bottle at Ciro’s. For 6% it doesn’t hide the alcohol as well as it should. Pours nicely. Not much aroma. Acidic with unpleasant aftertaste. Found it mediocre at best.

Bottle. A medium sized vanilla head with fine-medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was carbonated, cloudy and the hue was copper. The aroma was malty, sweet, some earth and ashy notes. The flavor was slightly bitter tasting, malty, hoppy and there was an aftertaste. The mouthfeel was tingly and the lacing was very sparse.

Bottle. Pours dark reddish amber with a foamy tanned head. Nose is an odd dry sweetness, hard candies, peppermint, sweet malts, and spice. Taste is slightly spicy notes, with sweet malts, light hops and more candy notes. Why am I thinking of minty Christmas candy right now??? Palate is mostly smooth but has some light chalkiness and bitterness to it. Ends dry. Finish is lightly bittered, herbal notes, more peppermint and spice with some sweet malts.

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.

Bottled. Brown beer with a fruity nose and a fruity and quite strong flavour. Overall a good beer.

swing-top bottle (330ml). -Amber coloured, minimal pale beige head, bready nose. Malty, light hoppy and fruity taste with bready and caramelish notes. Also not so pleasant light vinous hoppy finish. Not so good vienna.
