About

Achel Superior Dark is a dark and complex ale from De Achelse Kluis, brewed within the walls of the Trappist abbey in Hamont-Achel. At 9.5% ABV, it stands among the stronger offerings of this monastery, which has been brewing since 1850. This beer is defined by rich dark fruit character and a sweet caramel malt foundation. The aroma reveals raisins and plums, complemented by brown sugar and subtle vanilla notes. The palate is full and sweetly flavoured, with a light bitterness providing balance. The texture is smooth and medium-bodied with soft carbonation. This is a contemplative beer, best enjoyed with hearty stews and rich dishes.
