Tilburgs Dutch Brown Ale

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

Aroma seems slightly off-putting... not right in some way I can’t place. No head, some lacing. Fairly dark brown. Decent enough, but ordinary in flavor. Has hints of trying at some sort of Trappist flavor. Not sold on this one.

Bottle. Amber body, no head. Aroma is malt. Taste is plain, flavor is malt.

Rouge brown pour. Something sweet in the scent but also something of crayola. Taste is more fruity than most; it is sweet and thin. Almost like a dark wine cooler.

Pint from a fresh keg at the Golden Kiwi in downtown Galt. Taps a very nice, deep dark ruby-brown with a large beige head. The aroma is enticing, very sweet malt presence with the kind of esters you’d expect from a Trappist brew, banana, clove, prunes, etc. Flavour is just awesome. A complex yet refreshing brew! Comes in waves, starts out with a huge banana whack and some yeastiness, gets quite sweet and malty into the finish with nice dark fruit elements. And it goes down way too easy. I had to actually stop myself from drinking the whole pint in under a minute. So damn drinkable! Yet with Trappist characteristics, there’s just so much in this product that I love in certain beers. I plan on drinking a lot more of this in the future.

On tap @ Volo. Aroma is pitfruit, malt and nuts, amber, small toffee head. Flavour is again, pitfruit(red) with plums being most prominent, rich malt, toffee, nutty. Medium bodied, very well balanced, bitter and dry. Great treat!

Pours deep brown into a shaker. Offwhite head quickly recedes to hug rim. Mild chocolate malt aromas. Full and sweet with upfront nuts and caramel turning to lasting bread finish.

A bottle taste dat Kaisla. Dark reddish brown colour. Some apple in the nose. Soft mild taste. Not ver much hoppiness. Soft and sweet. Lacey leaving head.

pours medium brown with medium off white head. aroma of sweet malt, nutty, yeast, bread. drinks smooth with an upbeat malty sweetness that has a bread/yeasty finish. pretty straight forward but decent.
