11.2oz bottle. Amber colored beer with tan head. Sweet aroma of caramel, molasses, brown sugar and a bit of breadiness. Sweet caramel/molasses flavor that leads to coriander and vanilla. Also somewhere in there is a bread flavor. At the finish is a slight maple syrup note that surfaces. Very nice taste.

Strong, malty aroma has subtle nutty and woody notes plus a hint of molasses. It pours a clear chestnut with a fairly thick light tan head. Satisfying flavor has a malty core with nutty and molasses tones plus hints of caramel and cloves. Smooth texture has good body and average fizz. A tasty brown ale that is worth finding, especially if this is your favorite style.

330 ml bottle, at Murphy’s 8541 Irish pub, Skødstrup, Denmark. ABV is 5%. Beautiful mahogany coloured beer, big to moderate off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malts and dark syrup. The flavour has also caramel and possibly biscuit malts, but not much else. Dull finish. Okay overall though.

A recent edition to the tap lineup of a local beer bar. The misnomer is apparent almost immediately as this beer is more red than brown. A nice aroma of nutty malts with a litlle bit of yeasty tones. The flavour is certainly unique. Some roasted and caramel malt with a slightly bitter finish.

Bought a 4-pack of this earlier in the week. The guy who works at my retailer recommended this to me because I told him I was getting into Brown Ales. I really meant to say getting into "Indian Brown Ales", as I haven't had too many straight Brown Ales that I enjoyed. Newcastle always seemed about average to me, so when I popped open the first Tilburg and it seemed like Newcastle I thought I may have made a mistake. But with each day that I sample a new one (on my third now), it is growing on me and seems better across the board. Smoother, better malty taste, better balance on carbonation/mouthfeel. Tastes of caramel malts and honey, not much hops at all. Also has that different yeast smell/aroma that you find in a lot of Euro-brews. He said that this was his Brown Ale of choice, and it may become mine too until I find something better.

This is an attractive ale. It pours ruby red with a tight cream cap. The smell is light and carbonated almost like ozone. But the good review stops there. The taste is grainy and cloyingly sweet. This beer upsets my stomach. There are some honey and metallic notes. The mouthfeel is watery and the finish has a soapy taste. Yuck.
