This would be nice! It was here a few years ago, no?

I'm grabbing a case of the Rochefort 10...if anyone is interested in splitting, let me know (only looking to split 12/12).

Would keep it all to myself, but wife says i'm on a budget... ;)

BEER P0RN - enjoy:

It is a sexy bottle...

I do like that Abbaye de Scourmont (Chimay) is trying something new and craft-beery. Clearly there's a market for (and damn good marketing IN) some special-release beers.

The WM Tripel is THE defining, original Belgian Tripel, but I just don't drink boozy Tripels so often. It is a great one!
These are both great. They used to always be in stock at the LCBO years back too. I have 1 westmalle tripel and 1 westmalle dubbel left from those years ago....

Not sure how to tell their 'age', probably from 2006 or so? The Dubbel is BB May 2008 and the Tripel is BB October 2009 on their labels.

i'd say the BB is 2 years after bottling. just an educated guess

I read that somewhere as well that the date is 2 years after it was brewed. Either way, they're near the top of my drink-next list, so they won't last much longer!

Hi Peter, any update on arrival date of Rochefort 10?

Nothing to update about...we don't have an order from the LCBO. We do have an order in Consignment which should be available in a week or two...we hope.

The LCBO has purchased a very small quantity (about 50 cases of 12) of this special Chimay release and we're waiting for it to arrive. It is a 10% version of their White or Tripel which is regularly 8%.

Is there anyone in Sudbury or the northeast region that would split a case of Rochefort 10? I have a case on reserve but need 1 or 2 others to split it with me. I'd place the full order but could purchase about 8 bottles of that case. Need 1 or more to help me split this. Thanks

any word on when the Rochefort 8 will be at the lcbo?
esprit wrote:FYI, Chimay Blue and Rochefort 8 will be full fledged General Lists in the New Year. Orval will be a seasonal in the first quarter. Rochefort 10 is only available through us on Consignment. Also coming in a limited availability one shot is Chimay Speciale Cent Cinquante in corked 750ml silk-screened bottle, their one time 150th anniversary version of White Cap but at 10% instead of the normal 8%. Hope that sheds some light on our upcoming offerings.
