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 75 CL as Achelse Kluis. Hazy golden, huge white head. Bug and bold tripelesque aroma - Aroma of honey, pale stone fruit and wild herbs. Balanced taste, not too sweet and not overly dry / tart, heavy on wild aromatic herbs and quite bitter for a Tripel.

Pours reddish brown from the bottle and leaves a creamy finger-thick head. Aroma is caramel, lightly yeasty, alcohol. Taste is bittersweet, yet metallic, with hints of banana, spice, and chocolate. Leaves behind an overall rough, unclean impression with a clear delineation between the alcohol and other flavors rather than a harmonious blend. Yeast, alcohol and aluminum in the finish. Body is medium and the carbonation is adequate. Quite drinkable, but also quite disappointing.

Bottle from Erzbierschof Zurich. Pours cloudy brown with some fine foam. Quite acidic for a bruin, but maybe that’s because the bottle is a bit over date. No other signs of oxidation though. Good harmony of malt body and carbonation, matching bitterness. Palate is rather sweet. Decent and nice, but nothing extraordinary either.

Bottle from Erzbierschof Zurich. A decent and well-balanced Belgian Strong. Has some hints of oxidation as it’s beyond date, but it still highly enjoyable. Sweetness gushes along the ceiling of the mouth as you swallow, with some light hints of acidity which glimmer through the soft carbonation. Rather light for this ABV, but not compromising in flavours. Nice.

750ml bottle at The Sovereign, thanks to iphonephan, who purchased it for the group and who left before I got there. Poured a very hazy yellow color with a small white, foamy head. Aroma was light funky notes, touch of light earthy hops. Funky barn and hay. Light sweet citrus. Alcohol is hidden pretty well. Tasty.

Tap into a wine glass showing hazy dark yellow with a lot of sparse white foam. The nose shows alot of barnyard funk and light malts. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Lightly tart with a light malty sweetness and light flavors of orange. Light hoppy bitterness on the finish.

From a 75 cl bottle at The Sovereign in Georgetown. Pours a hazy gold with a huge off white head. Aroma of tropical fruits. Flavors of banana and coriander. Smooth, smooth, smooth, with a slight bitter finish.
