Clear chestnut body, with a fine off white head; Very little fine aroma; Very ordinary simple but refreshing body with a special fine carbonation; Medium long finish with actually a little hop apparent. The finish is the only interesting part of this beer, the rest is simply to boring. No wonder most people where drinking it with a red syrup.

In abbazia. Belgian ale ambrata, dava un po’ la sensazione di "annacquato", leggermente watery.

Tap. Average sized dense off white head over a clear dark garnet body. Strong grain-bread aroma with some earthy spiceyness. Very little taste in the body of the beer, with a roasted malt bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation.

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.

Zelfde verhaal als bij de Achel 5 Blond, in tegenstelling tot zijn tegenganger, de 8 Bruin, bevat deze veel minder smaak. Precies de 8 met wat water erbij gekapt.

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