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.

Bottle, 0.75l, shared with David. Pours murky dark brown color with thin creamy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Aroma of yeast, caramel, dried fruits with light alcohol note. Taste starts with rich and sweet caramel and toasted malt, following is fruity, yeasty and nutty, mouthfeel is warming and spicy, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Another trappist gem...

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8.5
330 ml. bottle. It pours a medium orange gold color with a foamy off white head that shrinks rather quickly. The aroma is baked apple with some cinnamon spice, caramel and alcohol esters. Rich bready and caramel malts. The flavor is the same. Strong bread, honey and caramel along with some baked apple and peppery spice near the finish. Bottle date says 11/3/17 but there is already some signs of age with a bit of almond/sherry oxidation notes. Medium low spicy bitterness. Fizzy carbonation aids the mouthfeel in an otherwise full, alcoholic body. A bit in the sweet side and oxidized end, but still a good Belgian

Bottle shared at THT. Slight hazy brown with small light brown head. Light veggies, old coffee, caramel, stale malts, light dried berries, cardboard, fake chocolate. Medium sweet with light oxidized bitter notes. Over medium bodied. Wow, this is quite the let down, I expected way more of this.

Bottle shared at the return of Old Spice tasting. Pours very hazy brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of yeast, toffee, vegetal notes, compost and overripe dark fruits. Flavour is over moderate sweet and light moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Disappointed with this beer, I really expected more.

Bottle at the Return of Old Spice tasting, Dec 2015, Den Haag. Poured a murky medium brown with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, sweet malt. The flavour is moderate sweet with a yeasty, light marzipan, dry fruit palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation and a bubbly mouthfeel. I expected better.
