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.

Clean caramel aroma, with a little brown sugar, and a metalic smell. Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Rich roasted flavor with caramel malts, and molasses, clean yet roasted finish. An interesting change for a Dubbel. Not bad.

pours a very dark cloudy brown with a large light tan colored head. sweet caramel, nuts, grapes, and yeast in aroma. flavor has notes of caramel, nuts, and grapes. palate is very carbonated and medium-light bodied and keeping it from being great. somewhat bitter for a dubbel.

Poured a dark ruby red almost brown with a white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, fruit, and alcohol. Taste was much of the same. Very sweet.

On tap at Monks Cafe...Dark brown body...brown frothy head...aroma is almost cab-like...caramel malt flavor..brown sugar...creamy with a slight hop bitterness, faint and blended just so ,"i like that!"...a bit of baking cocoa finish leaves you wanting more...alcohol is well disguised as well

Draft, at Monk’s Cafe. Pours a ruby/chestnyt color with a thick tan head. sweet malty aroma, with some fruity, almost vinous character. Complex flavor with sweet malt, cocoa, fruit, and alcohol. Really nice.

Bottle. The description on the label as a "flamy dark ale" is definitely accurate. Rich, smoky dark malt flavors back up the dark and crimson pour. Very interesting, very tasty, and not at all like other Abbey dubbels I have tasted. I will definitely try others from Urthel based on this one.
