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 very cloudy dark amber with a medium creamy light tan head leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a spicy malt with nuts and caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a roasted malt taste with caramel and a nice spicy finish. A good abbey dubbel from urthel.

Bottle at The Penguin off Octo’s shelf. Deep cherry red with a tight beige foam. Sweet toffeeish bock snout dragging in rye bread, booze, marzipan, malf loaf, liquorice and old leaves. Sweet but balanced with oily hop, rich walnutty malt, a dollop of varnish and faint dankness. Figgy fruit and cola spiciness. Plenty of alcohol glow as it slips down; hints of red apple and cherry fruit, chocolate, blood and cake. Robust warming doppelbock more German than Belgian in influence I’d say. Very decent.
