Rochefort 8 and 10

Buy 3 bottles. Age for 1,2,3 years and decide what you like. <- I havent done this but seems like a good idea to me.

Cheers!

 

I've had really good experiences with 5+ years on the 10.

 

I actually believe that a fresh, 3 and 5/6 would be better based on this particular beer. It will change a bit over time and you will surely be able to tell the difference at those ages.

 

I recently had a 6 and an 8 with each three years on them along side a 10 with only one year, and both the 6 and 8 blew the 10 out of the water.

 

I think the 6 is highly underrated, such a great beer. It is a close second to the 10 for me. With a couple years on it it is phenomenal.

 

I've heard they all age well, even 6. However they were great fresh (except for 10)

 

I need to try the 6. I've had a few different 8s with up to 2 years on them. Excellent beer!

 

I have had as old as 5 years and it was still amazing. Admittedly, i can never keep the damn beer in my cellar long enough to have it at that age too often.

 

I've never tried aging it, but there are some interesting tasting notes on the Rochefort website...

Thanks, I havent experimented with cellaring for that long yet. Couldnt hurt to grab 5 bottles and try an experiment.

Cheers!
