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.

On tap at the Falling Rock. Garnet w/ a creamy tan head. Left some good lace behind. Chewy currant and chocolate overed caramels with a touch of hops in the nose. Very nice rich malt flavor. A bit of cooked cherries with light spice. Med/full body. Well carbonated. Dryer finish. Very good.

330ml bottle. Hazy murky brown with ruby highlights. Dissipating finger width of beige head. Sweet cinnamon nose. Candy sugar. Full bodied and sweet, with a nice sporatic citrus bitterness slashing through the middle. Caramel malts and quite bright. Clinging head and notes of dates and cloves. Spicy splashes. Sweet syrupy to 7Up to tart red fruit and sweet breads. Not the fullest double I’ve ever had, but that doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of this brew at all. Nice balance. Not quite rounded, but definitely melded flavors. I really love randomly rating beers after vyvvy (see below). Typical striking contrasts! Cheers John!

750 ml bottle shared by Zinister, 5th bottle sampled at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Pour is brownish-orange with a one inch off-white head. Aroma of vegetables (celery, carrots) dark raisins, some candy sugar sweetness. Taste is raisin-molasses, some of the candy sweetness, which lingers a bit too long. Mouth coating, despite a fairly thin body. Interesting, but not extraordinary. Thanks for sharing Mike.

The 750 ml bottle cost $10/49 at BevMo. Poured deep mahogany. Tan head and good lacing. Rich mouthfeel. Good flavors of ripe fruits and a nice finish. Great tasting beer.
