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.

Dark amber ale. Not refermented in the bottle? Nice malt aroma. Malt, caramel, hop; enough body, but harsh, lightly metallic. Persistent final, nice hop but not really aromatic.

Dark brown color, stable head. Fruity aroma and a hint phenol. Complex, balanced taste. Definetly the best from this series.

light orange with a very big and stable head - the glasdesign is kind of funny here. A light citrus aroma and some bitternes. Neutral taste - quenching, but a bit to strong for that little taste.

Very dark and with a stable head. Pretty standard brune - a bit more fruit flawors would have made it great.

Dark ruby ale. Malt aroma. Good body, malty, nevertheless dry; spicy; the caramel taste is enough strong. The aftertaste is bitter, hoppy, with a dominance of bitter caramel.
