Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale from Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven B.V.
Rating: B-
Reviewed by two Gators in a row, it would seem.
Appearance: Garnet in color, very clear, smallish head with little retention. Bizarre label.
Smell: Aroma is on the lighter side, sweet malts predominant - caramel, some nuttiness.
Taste: Enough sharpness of carbonation and hops bitterness to balance the sweetness of all these dark malts. Caramel, dark fruits (cherry?). A hint of nuttiness shows up in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation seems sharp on the tongue, but strangely didn't produce a huge head and there's not a consistent stream of bubbles. Medium body.
Drinkability: From a Dutch brewery, I was expecting something more along the lines of a British brown ale than a Belgian dark ale. Not what I was expecting, but not bad.
Serving type: bottle
