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.

Draft, at Monk’s Cafe. Pours a ruby/chestnyt color with a thick tan head. sweet malty aroma, with some fruity, almost vinous character. Complex flavor with sweet malt, cocoa, fruit, and alcohol. Really nice.

Bottle. The description on the label as a "flamy dark ale" is definitely accurate. Rich, smoky dark malt flavors back up the dark and crimson pour. Very interesting, very tasty, and not at all like other Abbey dubbels I have tasted. I will definitely try others from Urthel based on this one.

Verre de dégustation, provenant d’une bouteille verte de 750 ml, dégusté lors de la soirée "La croisée des chemins" chez Cathshlag. Arôme: Odeur d’épices et de caramel fruité. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’épices et de caramel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’épices en arrière goût. (Rating #1021)

Brown-ruby body with a medium beige head. All kinds of fruits wrapped by roasted brown-sugar. Mainly dark fruits flavours but also some tropical fruits. Finish is rather hoppy. Too small of a sample at a tasting session. Nice beer, need to get myself a bottle. Bock name is misleading. Dubbel style of ratebeer seems appropriate. Ha beers… unlike women, the good ones go down easy.

Bottle. This to seems like a regular Belgian Double. It pours with a brown color and has aromas of dough and some figs. Flavors of bread, figs, raisins and some licorice. Lots of Belgian yeast and quite sweet. Alcohol is well hidden, beer is well carbonated, generating a a large head.
