Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

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

I liked this beer. Nothing was outstanding, but it had just enough quality features as opposed to negatives. I thought it had some nutty, woody, earthy, caramel, dust, and fig flavors.

This is an overrated Beer. It’s slightly above average, and that’s that. No way in Hell it deserves a 3 or above....it smells blah....it tastes blah...the appearance (including the label) is the best part of this Beer.

Dark brown/burgandy colored pour, with a thin light brown short lasting head. Lightly malty and almost metallicy vinegary, acidic smell too. Highly carbonated, with a sweet, nutty flavor and a very quick finish. Fairly light bodied, and easy to drink. Simple flavors, and not too full bodied for a brown ale. Nothing offensive, but nothing outstanding. A decent brown ale.

11.2oz bottle. Pours a dark, jewel-tone brown with a heavy, long-lasting tan head. Very nice lacing, slightly roasty aroma. Quite smooth and biscuit-y, slightly sweet caramel in there to finish. A bit insubstantial overall but very pleasant to drink.

I WOULD HAVE RATED THIS BEER FAR LOWER IF NOT FOR ONE THING. I LET IT SIT OUT FOR 2 DAYS IN A HOTEL FRIDGE (COVERED) AND WHEN RETASTED...IT SEEMED A LOT BETTER, LIKE IT HAD DEVELOPED A SOUL. BEET TASTING ASTRINGENT BEL/BREW THAT I JUST DON’T GET. GOOD MOUTHFEEL.TYPICAL BROWN ALE HO HUM.

Bottle, pours dark brown with an average tan head. Light very light caramel tastes. Nothign crazy but decent for a brown but Roges is definately better.

Bottle in pint glass. Pours lovely clear brown with dense tan head and decent lacing. Very faint aroma. Decent caramel flavors, sweet with a faint hint of roastiness. Medium-light body. Clean finish. A decent example of what is not one of my favorite styles.

Nice redbrown color with a small head. Sweet flavor of caramel and a smoth sensation in the mouth, I like this.
