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.

Poured chocolatey brown with a good size, beige-coloured head. Sweet malty flavour but slightly more watery than I’d expect from a dubbel. Decent but unspectacular.

PINT-bokbier 2003: Very clear redbrown color, short head. Aroma is fruity and malty, caramel. Sweet malty taste, caramelly again. Again a nice brew by De Leijerth.

Pours dark tawny brown with a nice pillowy light tan head. The aroma has dark grain, yeast, breadiness, brown sugar and toasted malt. Medium / full body that starts soft then gets thinner and a bit abrasive with fairly harsh sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with dark bread and molasses, roasted malt and cola-like flavor. Then some maple syrup followed by medicinal astringency. The last lingering part has brown sugar and a citrusy sharpness. Overall it is an odd beer that I’m not sure if I like or not.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 330 ml bottle - pours a dark brown with a thick fluffy off-white head. Sweet, nutty aroma. Flavor has hints of chocolate, some nuts, a bit of toffee and a back end of bitter coffee. Good overall roasted flavor with a thick mouthfeel. Above average.

Bottle at jeffc666’s Birthday Gathering. Courtesy of the rare Beer Club and brought by me. Copper body with a small tan head. Nose is fruit, caramel, malts and light wheat notes. Some light smoke as well. Taste is caramel, spice, some candy sugar, malt light flowery notes and some yeast. Like and Belgian Strong mixed with a weizen bock. Body has a medium feel with big carbonation. Finishes with more sweet malts and fruit along with yeast and wheat notes.

I wasnt aware this was labeled a dubbel. Pours a dark brown with a medium off white head. Smells of candy sugar, caramel, and raisins. Sweet and fruity smelling. Lots of dark fruit in the taste, typical of dubbels. Pretty sweet and flavorful, some molasses and raisins make up the rest of the flavors. Fairly smooth and easy to drink. I was pleasantly surprised.

11.2oz bottle. Poured medium ambery-brown with a creamy cap of beige head. The aroma picked up candied caramel, nutty notes, and raisins with a very distinct yeast impression.. vanilla and earthy spices on the back. The flavor was very much in the sweet department with aged caramel and raisins providing the most character.. bitterness was light and earthy, while the yeasty notes were brighter and spicy.. finished warm, spicy, and a little sour. Medium-ish bodied with lively carbonation on the palate.. balance was OK, but it was too strong and a bit abrasive at the finish. Decent stuff.
