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. Dark brown pour with a huge brownish white head. Malty aroma with some hops in the back ground. Malty flavor which covered the alcohol well. Pretty good.

Smellf pretty nice I suppose. Some chocolaty notes. Flavor is stronger in terms of alcohol than I’d like. Mostly an indistinct beer, nothing amazingly good or bad.

Pours a very dark chestnut brown with a dense, thick light tan head. Aroma is slightly herbal, some vague scents of something like anise, toasted malts. Taste has some sweetness and Belgian yeast characters and a slight sourish twang on the finish. Kind of refreshing and an interesting take on the dubbel.

Dark brown with an off white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Taste is less sweet with yeast, leather, plum, toasted malt and a little sourness like forest fruits. Bitter finish. Delicious.
