Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned.
Brewed under direction of Hildegard van Ostaden, formerly at Van Steenberge, now at Koningshoeven - La Trappe brewery.
With its rich foam, hoppy flavour and fine bitterness, Urthel Vlaemse Bock is a special ale with a high drinkability for lovers of the authentic Flemish brewing art. Vlaemse Bock as originally brewed for the winter, but is now available in 33 cl. (330 ml./ 11.2 FL.OZ.), 75 cl. (750 ml./1 PT. 9.4 FL. OZ.) and kegs the whole year. You can only buy Urthel Vlaemse Bock in the United States. This heart-warming dubbel of 7.5% of alcohol, traditionally top fermented and bottle conditioned flamey dark ale has a tastefully rich, malty, slightly sweet flavour. Vlaemse Bock’s very fine distinctive bitterness makes you forget the long cold winter.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown lively beer with a tanned head. Sweet taste. Caramel and toffee. Short finish. Nice beer, but not really special.

33cl Vlaemse Bock bottle from parts unknown? Pours a dark brown cola colour with a thick khaki head. Pretty serious lacing too. Big aroma of molasses, demerara sugar, and som dark fruit. Flavour is pretty authentic bock. Just enough spice and bitterness to make it interesting.

03/03 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured dark brown body with medium sized head. Very fine sweet malty aroma, caramel, sugary and slightly sourish. Flavor was also quite nice, caramel, chocolate and fruity malty. Maybe for a tone too sweet. Full bodied, with long sweetish caramel and biscuit yeast finish. Definitely not one of the typical dubbels and I liked it quite much.

My first vlaemse bock. Very nice, dark cherrywood pour. Musty notes of sweet dark fruit on the nose. Brown suger, licorice, drief fruit. Enjoyable drink with a slight alcohol presence.

2010-03-05. Very dark brown body, modest tan head. Sugary dark malt aroma. 7+ Flavour is similar, malt forward, light sugars, modest alcohol throughout, toasty malt accents. 7+ Smooth average plus to medium bodied palate. Well carbonated. Pleasant. Not super complex, but richly enjoyable. Bottle at L’Autre Oiel, Aylmer

Bottle @ Pre ZBF 2010. Pours dark, mahogany. Sweet candy nose but already an overdose of liquorice which is dominant throughout the aroma.

Poured a murky dark brown colour with a medium sized off white head that went away at a medium pace. Sweet malty vinuous nose, notes of alcohol, slightly caramelly and oily. The taste is a disappointment, malty and light, dry and odd. Some random bitter roast around it. The maltiness ends up being slightly soft and chocolatey as it warms. Light plastic. Oily again and ok now that I think about it, but it just seems that dubbels and similar styles usually aren’t my thing.
