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.

Dark hazed brown, large foamy khaki colored head with perfect lace left behind. Complex nose of warm toasty raisin bread, tangy brown sugar, and ripe plum that overlay a soft tea and tobacco tone. Dark fruit flavors softly mix with roasted caramel malt and a touch of hop bitterness. Malt forward here without a doubt. Medium bodied with a moderaate carbonation from start to finish. A nice blend of bock and abbey dubbel characteristics that worked well...

A very lovely bock. We really don’t get many good bocks, so this was a nice change.

My Bottom Line:
Unified berries and caramel maltiness elegantly build this creamy, lavish mouthfeel where diplomatic roastiness and minutious herbal hops linger. This is a wonderful Belgian interpretation of the Dunkler Bock style.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam garnishes the clear burgundy.
-The chosen Belgian yeast with the omnipresent Munich maltiness characteristic of bocks is a soulful meeting.
-Alcohol warms the back of the palate.
-Professional and classy, flavorful and drinkable, this is a fine example of the brewer’s talent.

Bottle, as Vlaemse Bock.

A lot of substance in this beer, it takes a much need bock and gives it a spike of roasted, toasted goodness. Its a real warmer to the palate. a special treat.

The aroma is sweet and toasted with yeast, dark fruit, and brown sugar. The appearance is impressive with a gigantic head and dark brown color. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall it’s good but it lacks that certain something.
