About
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.

6.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 26A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 15 22:49. AROMA: high malt aroma with sweet notes, mixed with a moderate-high spicy alcohol, and moderate-high fruity esters (pears and slight oranges). Hop aroma imperceptible, The alcohol evolves into a perfumy character. APPEARANCE: strong glod color and translucent. medium to large off-white to ivory head with medium-low retention. some leg formation. FLAVOR: initial malty sweet flavor of moderate intensity, followed by spicy phenols and more restrained fruity esters (faint pears). Medium bitterness to support the malt and a semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: medium to medium-high carbonation, with a smooth texture as well a present alcohol warmth, but not hot. some leg formation. medium body. OVERALL: a nice trapppist single with a lot of aroma commplexity and a balanced flavor between sweetness and bitterness, giving it an almost dry finish. however, it would gain from more bitterness, more hop presence, and less alcohol warmth.

Shared 11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a light golden color with a slight haze and a fairly large white head. Aroma is hay, bread, Belgian yeast, and some spice with some fruitiness. Taste follows, with some banana notes. Pretty good.
