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 brown, roasted malts, dark fruits, weird sour bitter finish that killed it. Maybe it was bad?

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Kaisla, Helsinki, on 2008-10-17) Dark brown. Almost clear. Medium sized white quite quickly disappearing head. Malty and a bit sour nose. Full bodied palate with lot of carbonation. Malts, chocolate, bitterness and some sourness in taste. A bit sour and bitter aftertaste. I wonder whether this bottle was contaminated somhow because there was this clear sour flavour.

Sample from Durham WBF. Clear brown pour with a light tan head. Sweet malty, but also notes of dirt and cardboard (oxidation?). Spice and metal. I’m making this sound worse than it was. It was decent, but I think something was wrong with the one I tried.

Bière brun chocolat, avec un très léger voile. Donne une mousse café généreuse au service, mais elle se dissipe rapidement. Parfum de malte un peu suret et métallique. Goût sucré, avec de bonne note d’orge grillé. Finale caramélisée et amère. Bouche pétillante, vivante. Cette bière se boit très bien, tout en présentant du caractère.
