Have you had it before? Normally i reserve it for formal meals but I never eat a proper dinner when watching football. I tried it several years ago and now the only beers I'll drink are Belgian Quads or Strong Dark Ales. It's exceptional with spicy foods imo and goes great with a bacon wrapped filet mignon. If you've had Chimay Blue and liked it, you should love R10. Hopefully soon I'll be able to have a Westy 12 because thats on my bucket list.
I might also add some Cajun Boiled Peanuts to the party.
Westvleteren XII is a bit overrated. I'm not into quads that much to begin with. The sugars are too intense. It's like drinking raisins. A friend likes to age his for 3-5 years. I'd consider doing that.
I'm not as into classic Belgian ales as much I once was, but I used to swear by Rochefort 6, 8 and 10. A good choice indeed!
