Description
De Trappist Achel wordt sinds 1850 gebrouwen binnen de muren van de Achelse Kluis onder toezicht van de monnikengemeenschap. De trappisten hebben gebrouwen tot de Duitsers in 1917 hun hele installatie meenamen. Tussen 1917 en 1998 werd er geen bier gebrouwen.In 1998 werd met de kennis en kunde van Rochefort, Westvleteren en Westmalle de brouwerij nieuw leven ingeblazen.
In 2021 verloor de brouwerij het ATP-logo, omdat er geen trappisten-monniken meer verbleven in de abdij. De productie van het bier gebeurde sindsdien onder toezicht van de abdij van Westmallle. In 2023 werd de abdij verkocht aan privéinvesteerders en werd de afhankelijkheid van de trappistenabdij van Westmalle verbroken.

Bottle. Clear golden body with lively carbonation and a big, frothy white head. Aroma has pale malt, spicy yeast, esters and a bit herbal. Taste is sweet pale malt, cane sugar, spicy and herbal with a fruity touch. Well balanced even as it feels rather sweet on the teeth. Balanced body and same aftertaste. Nothing outrageous but a well made classic Belgium ale that feels somewehere in-between a Blond and a Tripple.

33cl bottle from Hopt, France. Poured warm by mistake and therefore put to cold in the fridge. Subsequently pours foamless, loaded gold. Aroma is fruity, honey, peach. Body is average, on the thick side, with moderate carbonation. Quite an alcoholic feeling. Taste is pretty sweet, though with a good balancing bitterness. Final is long and alcoholic.

Bottle online from Beerhouseshop.be. Pours a dark chestnut brown colour with a large thick creamy off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel and a little candied sugar. Taste has more dry dark fruits, caramel, a little sweetness and a lot of peppery spice. Very well balanced. Medium body with a lively fizzy palate and a slightly oily mouthfeel. Very nice Bruin.
