Achel Bruin (8% ABV)

We're back on track with this tasty Trappist offering.

There is a touch of cough candy and coal on the nose, with a hint of freshly turned sods of grass-topped heavy clay soil to boot.

A hefty shovel of sweet malt is delivered on the palate with a surprising, mouth-wateringly dry departure.

The finish is just delightful, and again surprising in its purity and poise, with your mouth feeling as if you've just had a glass of something cool and cleansing from the Abbey well.

I definitely need to get another couple of these to see if the complexity grows in the glass, because to be honest I drank it in about 5 minutes.
