Achel 5 Amber

Hazy dark brown colour. Flavor is sort of leafy with roasted malts and fruits. Ok but not really fantastic

Served in a Trappist glass from the tap at De Achelse Kluis. This beer is actually Achel Bruin 5. Cloudy dark brown with thick off-white head. Aroma is toasted malt and yeast. Flavor is toasted bread, cereal, brown sugar with a subdued hops kick. Medium-bodied. Lightly hoppy finish with sweet overtones. Very interesting flavor. Quite drinkable. Really nice brew.

On tap at De Achelse Kluis as Achel Bruin 5. Hazy dark brown with a thick off white head. Aroma of sulfur, rotten eggs, dung. WTF?! Flavour is light sulfur, some yeast and all bitterness. No malt backbone or any sugar left whatsoever. Dry mouthfeel, light bodied. This must have been in very bad shape, because this was Trappist unworthy. Bummer.

On tap @ De Achelse Kluis. Aroma has caramel malts, sugar, yeast, dark fruits, some roast and is a bit soapy. Hazy, brown coloured beer with a creamy, off-white head. The taste is sweet, bit yeasty/bit earthy. It has caramel and dark fruits. Okay, but not really fantastic.

(Draught@Achel) Opaque dark brown with a smallish, lasting and lacy head. Mild, caramely-malty aroma. Flavor of caramely malt, some dried fruit, hint of licorice and coriander spiciness. Almost medium body, soft carbonation. Very clean and quite good for the ABV, but maybe it wouldn’t be a huge commercial success.

31.07.2009. With William on tap @ brewpub. A little hazy amberbrown color, with a beige head. Aroma (caramel) malts, fruits, some hops. Medium body. Taste malts, caramel, some hops, fruits.

on tap at the monastary, pours lighter shade of brown with a medium light tan head. Sweet sugary aroma with a light spice. Roasted malt and brown sugar with a black pepper finish. Very spicy brew, but sessionable.
