Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

Very good brown ale. I personally drink a case a week during the summer.

Pours dark copper/almost ruby with small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of chocoff, dark malt, caramel, some fruit, nuts. pumpernickel bread. Tastes very caramel malty, with big toffee, chocolate, some almonds, some coca cola. Medium palate, with decent complexity and balance.

12 oz. bottle: Light brown pour, a little hazy, but mostly transparent, with a sustaining near white head. Aromas were of sweet malts (especially raisens/prunes). Flavor wasn’t as sweet as this beer is heavily watered down, touches of caramel and dried dark fruits. Mouthfeel is watery, aftertaste is washed out.

Looks similar to Newcastle though a shade darker with a longer lasting head. Rich, Belgian aroma of earthy raisens. Quite sweet. Tastes like a watered down Quad. Some of the flavors are there but they are very muted. If the body was kicked up it would be more enjoyable. Better than I remember it.

Bottle. Pours light brown with off white head. Aroma is light prunes. Flavor is tart and watery. Great label however though

On draught. Always nice to see some different styles here in Holland. Aroma of malts, dark caramel. Tastes quite sweet but bitterness comes through pretty well. Seems a bit medicinal in the middle.

Hazy brown coloured, small brown head. Malts and raisins in aroma. Malty flavour, very sweet, but still with enough bitterness in the finish to compensate for that. Thick mouthfeel. I wouldn’t drink more than one in a row, but it’s nice on occasion.

(Bottle) Pours a dark mahogany body with a medium-sized beige head. Aroma of flat Dr.Pepper, malt, and raisins. Flavor of malt, raisins, and caramel.
