Achel Quadrupel Gold
A golden quadrupel: full in flavour, lightly spicy from the hop and dry, in balance. Dry hopping during a long maturation adds polish. At 9.5% it is brewed at De Achelse Kluis in Hamont-Achel, where a community of brothers settled in 1686, the monastery became an abbey in 1871, and the Achel abbey beers are brewed to this day.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Achel Quadrupel Gold
Serve at 12–14°C. This is a contemplative beer — warmth unlocks the dark fruit, caramel and complex malt.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Built for cellaring. Age 2–5 years for deeper complexity. Store upright at 12–16°C.
