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.

11.2 oz bottle. Vlaemse Label. Very active carbonation. Pours a murky brown color with a frothy, bone colored head. Somewhat bready, sweet malt aroma with some prunes and a hint (slightest hint) of some bubblegum phenols. A rich, c hocolatly dubbel with big caramel, toffee and fruit notes. Charcoal-like dry finish. There’s not much bock-like about this beer; it’s a strange name. I really enjoy the beer.

This was a good bock...interesting because it almost seemed to combine a Belgian style with a German Bock.

Bottle. [thank you, skortila!]
Pours a deep red mahogany with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is fruity, with strawberries mixing in with caramel, toffee, raisins. Nice high carbonation. Flavour is surprisingly ’dark’, with chocolate dominating. There is some tones of dried, dark fruits as well, but the chocolate really stands out. Ver dry finish with chocolate and slight hoppiness. Some nuts and very powerful roasted caramel. Quite warming, but there is not much viniousness. But there is an unwanted metallic side to it that it just will not let go of.
