I'm planning to do it together with a couple friends, as it's a big deal to open another bottle of Westy, and also 4x 10% beer should easily feed us  Happy to report back.
Stijn, I knew you were somewhere in Flanders, but didn't think to contact you as we were in a rush the whole trip. It's only a short detour from Calais so next time we cross, I might drop you a line! Maybe we meet at In de Vrede so I can taste the other beers from the abbey.

This is a great selection of beers! I have had the opportunity to try the Westvleteren 12 on 3 occasions. Once at the Bruges Bier Fest and a couple of other times at a great place in Hasselt, up in the Northeast of Belgium not far from the Dutch border. LaTrappe Quad and Chimay Blue, among some others, are both in my fridge right now. LaTrappe Quad is a favorite of mine and interestingly is actually Dutch, not Belgian. LaTrapped has a seasonal Bockbier which is also very good!
