Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Brown Ale
Tilburg, Netherlands

A really briliant red when poured into the glass and put against the light. I smelled a little bit of apples in the aroma but there wasn’t much to smell. very sweet and tasty, was more of a fruit juice than a beer.

Clear dark brown. Small, frothy, off white head. Simple flavor and aroma consisting of toasty malt, dark fruits, and bready yeast. Medium, balanced body. Very drinkable, but not very exciting.

(Bottled@HBF2006) Clear, darkish amber color with a small but lasting head. Toffee-malty aroma with sourish hints. Sweetish-toffee-malty flavor with a very silght sourness. Medium-bodied, slightly slicky palate with balanced carbonation. An easily drinkable and balanced, but not very complex brew.

This pours a clear brown. The aroma is full of overripe apples with a brown sugar background. The flavor is moderately sweet. The label is probably better than the beer though.

I really liked this ale. I bought it as part of a create-your-own 6-pack at Bloom, and found it quite refreshing and rich-flavored. The Netherlands once again show their strength in brewing.

330 ml bottle. Pours a deep garnet tinted brown colour, thick creamy tan, very persistant. Sweet plummy maltiness, toast, candi sugar and some complex kettle-caramel flavours as well. Great flavour, toasty with a bit of herbal mintiness on the finish. Sweet, but not cloying or syrupy at all. Soft, creamy texture and carbonation. Body feels a bit wheaty. Nice beer.

Chocolate malt nose, medium brown color, tan head that goes away quickly, the flavor is sweetish with a citrus finish

330ml bottle. Aroma is predominantly malty with notes of dark bread and milky caramel sweetness in the background, along with some faintly floral perfume and an odd sort of vegetative tinge, perhaps olive? Light suggestions of raisin and cocoa appear after considerable warming. Deep, clear dark brown in color with a slight, very fine yet lasting head and artful lacing. Lightly bitter and yeasty to start, developing into more of a grainy, sweet, lightly roasted malt character and finishes with a blend of a distinct sort of tangy dried fruitiness, lingering dark sugars, chocolate, tobaccoish herbs and pepper. Thin, watery and moderately effervescent palate, body is medium. Not spectacular, but its price did not indicate that it would necessarily be...
