eddie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Trappist Achel.Purchased it yesterday,plan on enjoying tonight after work.eddie,Coconut,or anyone else have before? Yes, it's lovely and fruity, yet still has that typical peppery taste. The last one I had was at Christmas (my son bought me a nice selection of Trappist beers) - slightly unusual as Trappist beers go because it is filtered (a bit) so it can appear hazy.

The classic is a dark beer, fruity whereas the tripel is a strong blond with that typically peppery Belgian yeast.St Bernardus Abt 12 is the original "Westvleteren 12", using the original yeast. The monastery now use the Westmalle yeast and, in my opinion, the beer suffered. The only beer I prefer to St Bernardus Abt 12 is Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel, and there's not a lot in it.As far as what to try next, how's about Haacht Tongerlo Prior for your next blond, and Grimbergen Optimo Bruno for your next dark?

May Contain Nuts Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) The Grimbergen Optimo Bruno was one of my favourites out of what I brought back, so a +1 on that recommendation Matt where is the peanut butter brown ale from?KellenTay Beers in Derby Market Hall. Can't remember the exact price but well worth a look when you're next in Derby - it's a very small shop but they have a good range.
