Description
Brasserie du Bocq was set up in 1858 by Martin Belot. The Brewery was incorporated into a limited company in 1949. Independent of any Belgian or foreign brewer, it still beholds its own family nature. Located in the heart of the Condroz, wonderful tourist region, this dynamic company still uses the traditional manufacturing process of top-fermentation beers with secondary fermentation in the bottle.

In 1983, Brasserie du Bocq abandons the exploitation of Central Brasserie Marbaix -La-Tour, to bring all the beer production back to Purnode where the production tools have been radically modernized on the basis of equity. Today in Purnode, although the Belot family has sold its assets to the Keersmaekers family who has been producing the Corsendonk at the Brasserie du Bocq for over 30 years, and even though the brewery has far exceeded its regional framework, nothing has changed and the values of the company remain intact.

Deugniet Goud Blond. 7,5 ABV. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

clear dark mahogany colour, medium sized creamy beige-ish head; aroma of dried sour cherry, prune, some figs, rye bready, burnt sugary and some slight dark chocolate notes; taste is exactly the same with some liquorice and sour cherry juice; I like it very much!

Pours golden, quite clear. Average sized white head, good enough retention and quite nice lacing. Not much intensity in the aroma: a touch of hay, a candy like sweet base, fruity notes are citric with maybe lighter hints of peach, very light spiciness (can't pick something specific). Overall a not very bright or defined aroma. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, again without much intensity or definition. Medium to high sweetness, medium bitterness, a light sweet edge in both taste and aftertaste; overall nicely balanced with a dry enough finish. Medium to dense body, a little lighter than average per style, average carbonation; goes down relatively quick and smooth for the abv, actually feels slightly refreshing (though it's probably not what you look for in a tripel). Nothing wrong with it overall, no significant flaws, but quite underwhelming: lacks both the depth and intensity you'd expect from a belgian strong ale.

Bottle, 8.1%. Good hay aroma with notes of yeast and clove. Almost clear dark golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is malty and sweetish with a good clove note. Hint of metal in the finish along with some slightly rough hops. The carbonation is a bit high for me, but that can be solved easily.
