Rochefort 8 and 10 are ridiculous. Might as well flip a coin between them and Westy, St Bernardus, and Achel for me. I like when people tell me they're good but you can't really session them. Couldn't disagree more! Only reason I wouldn't is because of availability and potential liver damage lol.

Had to go back to my BrewGene notes with all the praise you guys are giving it ... apparently it was the 6 I had, not the 8. I'll have to give the others a go, but was not a fan of the 6.

Definitely will try to track them down. Westy is rare out here too so I haven't had a chance to try but I've heard good things.

the US distro/gift pack was bullpoop, never saw any around here even though we supposedly had two on preorder through our bar. then out of the blue a distributor gave our bartender friend a bottle of it, and he was kind enough to share it with us.


it was amazing. the hype is warranted.

That whole release to the states was a greedy, monopolized cluster fuk from the very get go. All those poor monks wanted was some cash for a new roof on the monastery?

Glad to hear you were able to at least get a taste.

I'm guessing the closest thing to it taste-wise is Rochefort?

St Bernardus 12, Rochefort 10, and a bunch of others are pretty similar.


So glad I got my Westy 12. You know you have a good friend when they surprise you with a pack when you thought you missed out. I feel bad for everyone who really wanted one and missed out because of greedy asshats who bought them all up just to resell them . I thought I was screwed too.

as far as being able to satisfy my buds after having tasted the west, so far roche8 is the only thing that doesn't taste like bogwater in comparison.

The Bogwater from Beau's is pretty good.

And the Bogfather is probably their best beer.

I don't know if it's my favourite from them but it's pretty darn good. If I gave it a year it probably would've been even better but I had it fresh last year.

I have that glass in that pic too. Probably my favourite one.

Just saw it on their Facebook ... haven't seen it in any of our stores ... I'll have to see if I can track it down. Looks delicious.

Got a 16-months-aged bottle from the 2010 batch that a local beer store put on the shelves last week. Got the last one.
