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.

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

Draught at Brouwerij der Trappistenabdij De Achelse Kluis, Belgium.
Dark amber colored with a small off-white head. Weak aroma, some malty and sweet sugary hints and a bit of chocolate also. Roasted and flowery flavor with nutty tones and pilsner malt hints. Not very full but quite refreshing. Sparkling.

Dunkler, herb-bitterer Antrunk, eher wenig aromatisch. Das Malz ist geringfügig röstig, ebenso die Hefigkeit. Wässrig-bitterer Abgang mit wenig Malzeinfluss. 10/7/9/7//7

On tap at the monastry. Aroma of uncooked hops and yoghurt. Light brown color, beige head, good lace. Bitter, roasted malts, carboard, nasty bitter finish. Strange brew. What hops did they use? Didn’t like it at all.

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.
