About
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.

Gauloise Ambrée from Brasserie du Bocq

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Amber coloured with a thick head. Pleasant hop aroma. Cascade? Somewhat roasty flavour, nice hop bitterness. A bit thin. Tastes more like an American ale than a Belgian ale.

Dark reddish brown. Rich head. Sweet, malty caramel-aroma with a slight touch of oranges. Sweet, malty flavour with notes of dried fruit. The alcohol gives it a bitter finish.

Magnum bottle
Amber color. Aroma of pine resin and hops, very nice. Quite malty, but ends dryer (because of the age). Not complex but very enjoyable.

Golden coloured with a slight haze. Fluffy head. Sweet-ish wheat-y aroma. Light-bodied with an yeast-dry fruity flavour. Drinkable but it need more body.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pretty, dark amber beer. Hazy with a decent head, that doesn’t stay up for long though. Some yeast in the nose, but mainly very dry - more dry than bitter. But very pleasant and quaffable. 230398

(Bottle 33 cl) 6,8% ABV in my version. Hazy, golden beer with a fine fluffy head. Fruity nose, fruity flavours - coriander? - very soft mouthfeel. Almost no bitterness. A pleasant beer that wouldn’t offend anyone. Easy to finish, easy to forget. 200398

(Bottle 33 cl) Brown and surprisingly clear beer, huge, frothy head. Caramel and candy sugars in the flavour with some roasted malt. Could do with a bit more body - this is surprisingly almost watery for a Dubbel. 170398

(Bottle 75 cl) My version had 9% ABV. Black - not brown - pitch black licorice-like appearance, brownish frothy head. . Almost tar... Extremely rich and full-bodied. Spicy almost peppery notes with lots of burned malt. Some hoppines in the finish. Gee what a solid, potent brew. 191297

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
(Bottle 75 cl) A bit unusual with a Witbier as a Christmas-beer. At least on my home turf we expect Christmas beers to be dark and malty. But this is an unusual "Biére Blanche". The colour is dark amber (like "fire" the label claims). Caramel flavours, but no sweetness. On the contrary this is very dry, almost citrusy-sour. Very refined and complex, but less accessible than most Witbiers. Interesting. 181297
