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.

pours a hazy reddish orange brown color with a small light brown head that shrinks quickly. Nose is booze, red wine, a bit of soy sauce that is somewhat salty. Taste is cherries, booze, and is pretty acidic. Not bad but misses on quite a few levels.

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.

Amber, redbrown colored brew. Sweet aroma, dark fruits, raisin. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, some bourbon and roasted sweetness. Pretty decent.

Á primeira vista, essa Abbey Dubbel holandesa parece impecável, uma experiência única que começa com a remoção da rolha de sua belíssima garrafa. Sim, a magnificum é uma boa cerveja, mas está longe do seu equivalente em latim. Afinal, esse visual já se perde um pouco ao observa-la no copo, quando se vislumbra uma espuma pequena e amarronzada, quase nenhuma formação de colarinho e rápido desaparecimento. Completam sua aparência a coloração marrom e o corpo claro, talvez até demais para uma cerveja de tão nobre família. Na próxima análise, o principal trunfo dessa Dubbel, seu aroma. São necessárias várias incursões e inspirações para captar toda uma nuance de notas que passa por chocolate meio amargo, café suave, bala toffee e caramelo. Justamente essa miscelânea é que ‘joga contra o patrimônio’ nesse caso, pois acaba-se esperando sabor e paladar surpreendentes, mas o que vem a seguir não é nada de mais. No início do gole, doçura moderada. No final, amargor moderado e algo adocicado. No palato, um corpo leve para médio, com textura oleosa, carbonatação borbulhante e sensação metálica finalizando.
