At times one is fortunate, located Achel 8 Bruin in Santa Fe with a number of other hard to find beers. My Rochefort Trappistes glass receives half of the 11.2 oz bottle. It serves up a dark amber-brown liquid and an eggshell white head with steady carbonation. The nose is rather pleasant, yeast, spun sugar, grain. A sip delivers yellow fruit, yeast again, bread, green apple and an unexpected lingering bitterness. A great, late afternoon treat. Now for that other half.

Front Label with: Achelse Kluis. Drink in Ename glesses with duck, potatos and green salat. Jak na piwo Trapistow to ma niesamowita jakosciowa piane. Chyba najokazalsza jaka widzialem w piwach Cystersow. Barwa morelowa, lekko mglista, nieco osadu bylo. Zapach biszkoptow, kruchej szarlotki. W smaku sporo oleistej struktury, slodkosc biszkoptowa zmieszana z suszona morela, kwaskowe mirabelki gdzies w oddali. Przy jasnym piwie ukrycie alkoholu to nie lada sztuka. Tak jest w tym przypadku. Dawno nie testowalem klasztornego Tripla i dlatego jestem mega zachwycony z tej doskonalej przyjemnosci i jakosci

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear deep golden color with thin soapy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma of dried fruit, caramel, yeast and alcohol. Taste starts medium sweet and sour grainy, following is yeasty, fruity and grassy with toasted malt note, mouthfeel is crisp, dry and spicy, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Not bad, but I just miss superb quality...

Bottle at botteltje oostend. Brown color, hazed, creamy beige head, persistent. Candy sugar and caramel with red fruit and berries esters, brandy, whisky and intense woody and earthy notes provided by the yeast, providing a spiced and warning tone. Taste is sweet, syrupy, light bitterness comes after but more on the solvent side. Body is medium to full, average carbonation, creamy texture. Finish fairly aromatic on fuel notes. I’d call this a dubbel. Very sweet and good for desserts and winter time.
