Christoffel Robertus

Brewed by Sint Christoffel Bier
Style: Vienna
Roermond, Netherlands

Medium head, hazy amber body. Aroma is sweet fruity and malty with toffee undertones. Flavor is also sweet fruity and malty with a somewhat strange eartly tone. An OK beer without beeing great!

Draught
Nut brown - orange, good off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied, fruity - a bit banana, mango and water melon mixed with flowery hops. Long fruity aftertaste. Unfortunately this patch was a bit out of date.

After having the blond, and being horribly disappointed in it I was not sure what to think of this one. Sampled from a rather nice 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel color with a medium sized tan head. The beer is very heavily carbonated. The aroma is fairly faint but has light elements of ripe fruit and molasses. The flavor is bitter with a hint of molasses and ripe fruit and a moderate brown sugar element. The finish is tangy. The overall flavor is pleasant but rather subdued. This is not a particularly remarkable beer. But at least it was not crap like the blond.

Pours deep amber with a frothed up, beige head. Nutty hopped up aroma, some bread, spicy malts. FLavour profile matches the aroma as far as the nuttiness goes. Very malty, pretty sweet, like a sweet brown ale. Good carbo.

Draft at Cock & Bull, Sarasota, FL. Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate toasted sweet malty aroma. Medium body. Medium sweet fruity flavor with a medium sweet finish of average duration.

Decent taste, but a little too much on the sweet side. Looks great, and comes in quaint little patent bottles.

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.

Pours a hazy, cloudy (unfiltered) burnt orange-brown. Off white head recedes rapidly. Aromas of fruity malts, caramel, toffee, tootsie roll, oranges, nuts. The flavor is sweet, sweet malt. Fruit and nuts. Medium body, clean, average length. Very little bitterness to latch on to.
