Awesome! Which year? If it is 2013, you might still have something to look forward to. The '13 vintage has next to no barrel character to it...

Good to see that you didn't have the 2013 vintage. It is great in its own right, if you are looking for a coffee stout, but the '12 and '11 are far superior.

It's one of the best beers out there... cheers!

opened up a 2011 and a 2013 DDC Solstice D'Hiver. The 2011 is so much better, so smooth and rich.

Had this with a friend tonight along side Grassroots Arctic Saison and both of us preferred Puncheon. This is an excellent brew!

Rochefort 8, born on Sept 8 still a baby. Good aroma at 4 months. Holy cow nice almost banana-like esters and sweet grape sneaking through in the earthy-dry flavors, this is a very nice batch.

Less intense than the 10, making it more similar in ways to Chimay Bleue since we were going on about that.
