Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

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

Tan head on a brwn body. It has a rather sweet taste and lots of hints of fruits, caramel, candy sugar, etc. A bit roasted too, a bit bitter at the end.

Bottle. Poured a reddish brown with a small tan head that fizzed out quickly. Looks of high carbonation in the glass at first but then calms down. Very sweet aroma with honey, caramel, and apple standing out. The flavor found caramel, honey, and cinnamon. Maybe a very slight hint of roast but overall very sweet with a sweet aftertaste that hangs around for a while.

A good malty aroma and taste from chocolate malts. Slightly smoky in taste as well. Not particularly strong taste at first, but the aftertaste lingers with a faint whiff of cinnamon and caramel.

Not a bad brown ale at all, dark brown pour, nice beige head that lasted the whole time, nice sweetness like toffee and caramel, nice hop bite, nice maltiness, good beer.

Bottle: Very sweet aroma of apples, toffee, and yeast. Pours a hazy reddish-brown with a small tan head that quickly fades to a ring. Rather sweet. Apple, honey, candy sugar, toffee up front. Light tartness in the middles. Finishes with moderate yeastiness with the slightest hints of roastiness.

The body was medium brown with a light khaki colored head. The aroma was rich toffee with caramel and tea. The was also some sweet molasses. The taste was sweet honey with molasses, chocolate and tea. There was also some very sweet bubblegum. I need some more bitterness.

Bottle. Slightly sweet vinegear smell to it. Nice and rich. Full of flavor, but very short. Does not last long. Finishs nice. Very decent Brown Ale. But I have had better.

Smells like sweet vinegar, but flavor is rich (although short with no aftertaste). Average overall, I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.
