    I found a 2010 bottle of Tripel from De Dolle a while ago in a liquor store cooler. It tasted pretty all right. I know the St. Bernardus bottles have 5 year best by.

    I have a case of Tripel Karmeliet in my basement which I purchased a few years ago. It has a best by date of sometime this year (2014). A well-made (and properly package) Tripel should be good for several years.

    Cheers!
