[Sonea Fifer]

Thanks for the update Macca - I had a bottle of Chimay as well as a back up but decided to enter Affligem.

Haven't tried either yet . . . . .

 

[Ahleckz]

Oooh, 3 points. Close one there pingwing! Had that bottle in my hand in the shop. My beer was nice, 8 percent but quite light. Probably won't get it again though.

Thanks for the update macca.

 

[Martynt74]

Mine is a different Chimay to Judgeneos. Should that not class as being unique?

 

[pingwing]

Woah that's a close one Ahleckz! It was a choice between the Tripel, Prior's or the abt 12 and only put yours down because I fancied something lighter (in colour at least)

Not a bad beer at 8%, could be a little sharper but it's a great excuse to crack out the big wide La Trappe glass again

Cheers Macca!

 

[Martynt74]

Ignore me. Are we on the revised points system where top marks are 3 now not 4?

 

[Ahleckz]

Apparently, who knows! It's being made up as it goes along it seems, and macca jus t ignores any questions. But yeah, assume 3 is top marks. It's what I'm doing. And I'm winning!

 

[Judgeneo]

Does anyone want to buy me a desk?

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

Rochefort, nice. #8 would be my favourite also.

 

[pingwing]

And I'm winning!

*cough* joint winning *cough*

 

[peterwalkley]

Fond memories but had to stop as I was putting way too much weight. Bush, Rochefort 10 and Gulden Draak were my favorites.

 

[Rojin]

Drank mine last night, blurgh!

 

[silent]

Balls, bloody two points. Thought I'd got a good one

Westmalle trappist is great - tried the double and triple before.

If I'd known about this thread a few weeks ago I would have beaten you all - seeing the inlaws and the wife is from Dunkerque next to the Belgium border.

 

[silent]

not tried it yet, boxed up ready for moving tomorrow. i will have a good session when i'm settled in our new house that's for sure!

was gonna post orval but the place was closed on the sunday which was my fail

also is St Bernadus actually a trappiste ?

I mean it's not brewed inside the walls of a monastery it wasn't on my list of viable beers.

Brasserie de Rochefort Belgium
Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle Belgium
Brouwerij Westvleteren/St Sixtus Belgium
Bières de Chimay Belgium
Brasserie d'Orval Belgium
Brouwerij der Sint-Benedictusabdij de Achelse Kluis (Achel) Belgium
Brouwerij de Koningshoeven (La Trappe)‡ Netherlands 1884
Stift Engelszell Austria 2012
St. Joseph’s Abbey United States
Brouwerij Abdij Maria Toevlucht Netherlands


St Bernadus is brewed in the same style but not registered.



doesn't give me any points but I would have been able to rectify my fail if I could have used a "trapiste" style beer as opposed to an actual one. If I'm wrong fair enough just asking .

also affligem isn't trapiste this is why I asked about the trappiste rules in the first place.

 

[StoutMeister]

also is St Bernadus actually a trappiste ?

No, it's an Abbey beer.

 

[TwsT]

seems to be the winner :/ I don't have time for this at the moment i'll try to get to the shops next weekend and buy a few in a row. poor start oh well
