You will find this a very satisfying beer, w/ just a little malt sweetness, dried fruit flavors, warm sherry notes, & a brisk balancing backdrop of fresh hops.
Huge, copper-colored, bottle-conditioned ale, still hot off the presses, Achel Trappist Extra is the latest from the tiny brewery at the St. Benedictus Abbey at Achel, in the Northeast of Belgium...
The brown Achel trappist has a 5 per cent alcohol volume. You will taste a delicious dark-malty bere, with bits of caramel, brown sugar and dark fruits.
Somewhere in an out-of-the-way place of the Flemish Country, hidden between fields and forests on the boundary with the Netherlands, situated near the water of the “Tongelreep”, you find the “Achelse Kluis”. For more than three centuries this place has been hallowed by “Ora et Labora”, pray and work, according to St. Benedict’s spirit.
