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.

Pours to a typical white cloudy straw yellow with a 5cm head. Nice nose: bready, yeasty, coriander, fresh white bread, clove, mashed banana. Clove in the mouth too, some banana, some mandarine. Good flavour hit up front and good carbonation but fades quickly. Tad watery and mentally towards the end.

Voici une ambrée quelconque qui ne devrait pas retenir votre attention. Le visuel est sur une ambré parfaitement limpide, une effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche de 5 mm d'épaisseur. Le nez, sur un cocktail caramel, pain et candy, n'est pas des plus emballant... En bouche rien de mieux avec heureusement une amertume qui donne un peu de fraicheur. C'est plat et sans réel intérêt. Si l'intensité est bonne le final est quant à lui trop court. Quelconque.

Servida en cáliz, color marrón rojizo oscuro, opaco, corona de espuma beige cremosa y abundante de buena retención. En nariz posee un aroma discreto, malta tostada, algo de frutos rojos, especias...En boca es dulzona, con ciertos destellos levemente agrios, de amargor bastante contenido, cuerpo medio, notas de frutos rojos, pan negro, especias...Percibida por el paladar sigue comportándose de forma discreta, es una de aquellas cervezas que sin ser malas y teniendo un fácil e incluso agradable beber no destacan por absolutamente ninguna nota brillante ni especial, simplemente se beben bien, pero de fondo dejan percibir, tal vez, un pequeño toquecito mediocre.

En de tulipa, color ámbar cobrizo, espuma blanco nacarado de media-alta retención. En nariz desprende aromas poco acentuados a malta tostada, caramelo, frutos rojos...muy discreto, por no decir algo pobre. En boca es dulzona, con cierto punto ácido, muy poco amarga, notas de frutos rojos, caramelo...nada especial. Se deja beber , aunque tiene un punto 'regulero' que no se...

Servida en cáliz, color marrón oscuro, casi negro, rojo al trasluz, espuma beige claro bien conservada. En nariz maltas tostadas, tofe, uvas pasas, dátiles, frutos secos...muy agradable. En boca se percibe de cuerpo medio, entra acariciando el paladar con notas de malta, caramelo, fruta pasificada y una ligera puntita de regaliz y frutos rojos. No es excepcionalmente profunda pero si muy agradable, rica y placentera, el amargor esta bastante ajustado, bien equilibrada. Para mi gusto una dubbel rica, deleitosa y disfrutable, ideal para fechas navideñas.

Je suis de plus en plus désespéré par ces bières à la cerise ou aux fruits rouges qui sont tout autant stéréotypées que grossières, trop sucrées et sans intérêt. Le visuel est toujours sympathique, avec une robe rouge, limpide avec de nombreuses et fines bulles et une mousse rose de 3 mm. Au nez, cela se dégrade avec un nez à la cerise chimique plutôt violent. En bouche, c'est bourrin avec des arômes de cerise chimique, trop de sucre et sans aucune variation. Présence en bouche et longueur sont toutefois honorables. Pas convaincant.
