The Achel is the latest of trappist beers brewed in the monastery of St Benedict Notre-Dame in Belgian city of Achel (in the province of Limburg).
The existing beers of Achel are the result of the hard work of brother Thomas (brewer of Westmalle) and brother Antony (ancient brewer of Rochefort). As you can see, the Achel beers are big beers but still a bit unknown. This beer must be tasted as fast as possible!
The brown malty taste with a light aroma of roasting reveals a vanilla flavour.
This beer pours a very cloudy dark brown with some sediment present. It formes a nice off white bubbly head that left circular lace. Some carbonation is present. An aroma of malt, caramel and a touch of cherry. A flavor of malt and caramel. The finish was a touch astrigent with a bit of sweetness to it. Overall I am not as big on dubbels as other styles of Belgians. But all in all, this is another nice beer from this brewer.
