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 hop bitterness 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.

Fresh Malt and fruit aroma (Strawberries, lemon?), a hint of leather. Cloudy brown amber, foamy brown head. Strawberries, a bit roasted malt (honeyish), mellow sweetness (cane sugar) and some wooden notes. Full-bodied, sparkly mouthfeel.

Copper pour with fluffy white head - mildly sweet aroma of dark malts - toasty, biscuity flavor that balances well with the sweet malt backbone - finish is hoppy and a little thin - tasty, but not worth the 3.50 for the 11.2 oz.

An amber beer with a nice head. It has a slightly fruity aroma and a slightly metallic prickling fruit and spice flavor - nice and intriguing

Red-brown color, with a creamy head indeed. Kind of malty aroma. Better than the Christoffel Blond IMO.

Nice bottle. According to Michael Jackson this is one of the world's great beers, but I found it very dry and bitter with some sweetness making it feel unbalanced.

One of the highlights of the Upper Canadian beer calendar is the annual release of the Christmas gift packs every November. I make it a point to buy as many as I can, as there is no better way to build the glass collection and try some good oldies. I spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out why the Corona gift pack had glasses in it (how do you shove a lime wedge into a broad-rimmed glass? And what self-respecting Corona drinker would even use a glass? After all, using a glass is the beer drinking equivalent of flushing the toilet, and we all know Corona drinkers don't do that every day...where was I? Oh yeah, my first gift pack this year was the Christoffel one, since you need to have the Blond fresh. But that also means I get to have a nice, fresh Robertus too! Luminous reddish-brown, cloudy Vienna lager; malty, a little alcohol showing as well in the nose and some toasted marshmallow. Smooth, malty palate with lots of Vienna malt and toffeeish notes. As far as Vienna lagers go, this is the antithesis of Eliot Ness, but they're both among the top of the style.
