Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

Fresh malty caramel color and flavored sweet candylike beer with an abundant amount of flavor. The creamy light head has good lacing and a significant amount of light small bubbles.Could use to be a little more full-bodied with a higher alcoholic percentage.

Pours nut brown with an ephemeral head. Aroma is sweet and nutty, nice. Flavor strikes me as both too sweet and too sour as they both overpower any malt character it might have. I think this is an attempt at a traditional "flanders brown" also called "sour brown" but it pales in comparison to the better examples of the style. Interesting lable.

Pours a clear copper brown, topped by a good inch of creamy tan foam. Pretty good head retention and lacing. Sweetish malt, somewhat maple-like, in the aroma. Very sweet beer, quite fruity. A chocolate malt that reminds me of a cheap waxy chocolate bar. A hint of roasted malt for some balance. Unfortunately not enough balance. Medium body, light carbonation. Too sweet for me

An aroma of slightly sweet toasted malt. An amber/brown pour with a slight tan head and light lacing. A flavor that smells alot like it smells except maybe sweeter. A taste kind of like burnt brown sugar smells. A tad on the thin side just lacking some richness in the body. A slight bitter in the finish that helps this be a pretty good beer.

A dark Brown Ale in Dutch disguise. The head is moderate and the aroma is very sweet and malty. The flavour is very sweet and has notes of roasted malt, candy sugar and sour berries. I think the sweetness is to candy-like, it steals the taste...

Bottle (with a great little picture on it- Bosch or Bruegel?). Pours a dark brown that shows a bit of ruby around the edges as the light hits it. Aromas are weak and sweet. Maybe a touch of a nut scent in there, too. Flavor is pleasant but a bit dull. Has a wonderful sweet body that is about perfect for a brown ale. Not really complex, but really nice.

Bottled. Clear, brown beer with a small beige head. Sweet aroma with dried fruits and caramel. The flavor is sweet and caramel-ish, with some roasted malt and dried fruits. Medium body and a weak finish with malty sweetness. (061028)

Big thanks to Anna’s brother for sharing this one with me. A very nice brown body with a thin tan head. Very sweet aroma, similar to most Belgian Quad’s frankly. Taste is rather complex for such a simple beer, malts and chocolate dominate along with other flavors such as light fruits. Smooth ending.
