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.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, reddish brown with a creamy, beige head. Nose has Belgian yeast, slight cherry with a whiff of anise. Rich and very sweet body, fruity and malty - borderline cloying. Quite a warming alcoholic finish. 050424

opalescent ruby colour, large, dense pinkish-ruby head; aroma of strawberry, cherry and some marzipan; taste is the same with intensive syrupy-strawberry jam-like, some sourish berry and minimal almond-like bittery notes; correct one

Bouteille 33cl dégustée dans un resto italien quelconque un dimanche pluvieux à Paliseul. La bière doit être un tel succès que la BB était 23/09/2023.
Dorée au col blanc.
Arôme est classique belge, notes d'esters, un peu banane, léger grillé oscillant sur le torréfié. Bière assez moyenne au nez où le volet passé ne semble pas aider.
Palais est assez classique belge présentant qcq notes d'esters - banane, cara pâle avec une petite amertume houblonnée en retrait, le côté grains et céréales ressort plus en retrait et le fait que la BB soit déjà passée n'aide pas vraiment cette bière.

En tulipa, color dorado claro, turbia, espuma blanca bien retenida. En nariz aromas de cereal, pan, especias, levadura...posee un perfil aromático, que sin ser espectacular, es uno de los que a mi me agradan. En boca sigue una línea muy acorde a su aroma, perfil claramente belga, notas de levadura, pan, malta, cereal en grano, pimienta, piel de naranja...Posee dulzor y amargor medio, cierta acidez y regusto cítrico de fondo. para mi bastante disfrutable.

Servida en cáliz, color marrón rojizo oscuro, granate al trasluz, turbia, espuma beige claro de media retención. En nariz notas de frutos rojos, higos, chocolate, cilantro, especias...tiene una nota muy característica como de laurel y anis que me recuerda a las St. Feuillien. En boca es de cuerpo completo, con buen nivel de dulzor, e interesante riqueza en notas especiadas, maltas tostadas, caramelo, galleta, fruta pasificada...En resumidas cuentas, una belgian dark strong ale de nivel medio-alto que tiene buen disfrutar.
