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. Blackish brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is rich, spirity and malty, and the flavour is rich, deeply roasted and malty with a very bitter finish. Overall a nice roasted and malty beer.

Rich, complex and malty ale. Notes of toffee, chocolate, caramel and prunes and figs in the nose. Rich, thick mouthfeel, but not quite bock level. Still attains bock level melanoidian complexity, and has additional notes of raisin, earth and tobacco in the flavor. Finish is sweet, but slight bitterness and has a noble, earthy and piney hop character.

The Vlaemse bock. Reddish brown color. Light carbonation. Light toffee-sweet malts and a touch of spicy hops. Notes of cigar tobacco in the nose and aroma. Lighter in palate for a so-called bock.

Cloudy reddish brown color with tan head. Aroma of molasses and malts. Molasses and slightly hoppy bitterness on the palate with a bit of alcohol. Very nice!
