Good flavor of malt, fruits and caramel with mild yeast and a mild bitter finish. The body is medium while the texture is creamy and the carbonation gentle. I’ve never been disapointed by a Urthel beer so far. fonefan (11818), VestJylland, Denmark

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 7, 2007 Dark hazed brown, large foamy khaki colored head with perfect lace left behind. Complex nose of warm toasty raisin bread, tangy brown sugar, and ripe plum that overlay a soft tea and tobacco tone. Dark fruit flavors softly mix with roasted caramel malt and a touch of hop bitterness. Malt forward here without a doubt. Medium bodied with a moderaate carbonation from start to finish. A nice blend of bock and abbey dubbel characteristics that worked well... legion242 (1586), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 6, 2007 A very lovely bock. We really don’t get many good bocks, so this was a nice change. MartinT (5068), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2007 My Bottom Line:
Unified berries and caramel maltiness elegantly build this creamy, lavish mouthfeel where diplomatic roastiness and minutious herbal hops linger. This is a wonderful Belgian interpretation of the Dunkler Bock style.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam garnishes the clear burgundy.
-The chosen Belgian yeast with the omnipresent Munich maltiness characteristic of bocks is a soulful meeting.
-Alcohol warms the back of the palate.
-Professional and classy, flavorful and drinkable, this is a fine example of the brewer’s talent.
Bottle, as Vlaemse Bock.
