Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

Bottle. Poured a transparent brown slightly darker than Aunt Jamima’s with a decent sized off-white head. Malty aroma is slightly sweet. The taste is very interesting and good for a brown--sweet, nutty, with a subtle burnt fruit taste (reminded me a little of an Abby Quad). Finish is nutty and smooth. A good brown and a nice deviation from the norm.

Bottle. Very likable brown ale is a nice departure from Newcastle. Wonderful aroma of malt and bread; dark brown appearance with low foam (but enough is present). Flavor is slightly boozy and very malty. A good regular option for fall, winter and spring.

Bottle. Nice thick bubbly beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Color was cloudy brownish. Caramel, nutty, light toasted malt and what I thought was a mix of weak butter and smoke like notes. Light fruity feel over the palate. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with a light bitterness. Somewhat sweet light toasted like finish.

med brown. scant off white head. fruity sugary aroma that reminds me of a Belgian strong ale. The flavor is not as rich as the aroma, but for a brown ale, not too bad. Overall appropriate light crisp malt flavor with more prominent notes of caramel, malt and faintly fruit finishing slightly bitter, wet but refreshing. Take it for what it is. It beats most American browns...

Malty sweetness typical for the style - nice balance, not too shabby. A good lunch time beer before a bowl of soup in a bread bowl. Nice in the evening as a night cap.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

330ml bottle (Vanha Posti, Tampere) Dark red, healthy light head. Very sweet aroma - enormously malty. Some tuna and artichoke antipasti. Fizzy in the mouth. Strong malty body, but quite mellow, none of the oddity of the aroma.

Pours a watery brown with a foamy, almond colored head. Smells weak, of nuts, slight coffee and thin chocolate. Taste is also very thin, hardly any carbonation or flavor. Just water, caramel and a bit of bite from toffee or roasted coffee. For me, this is a bad beer and even though the style is usually not that good, this even bad by Brown Ale standards.
