Disclaimer: this is Belgium and having a beer at lunch is completely normal.4 of us went out to lunch today and ended up with lasagna and beer at some pub and both were quite good. I had the Rocheforte 10 as that was on my list as Matt's favorite beer when he was in Belgium. This particular beer could definitely be a problem if you're not careful. It was 11.3% alcohol, but you don't taste it like with the Westmalle Trippel. The Rocheforte is very smooth and remarkably tasty. This is indeed my favorite beer in Belgium or elsewhere.
For dinner that night we went to The Lodge again (yes, 3 nights in a row) and i had a Kasteelbier Bruin (11%) which was hearty and dark and almost as good as the Rocheforte. Last i had a Ciney Bruin (7%) which had a more crisp taste. It was still dark, but not as hearty as the Kasteelbier and ranked a little lower on the taste scale.
I didn't have time to buy beer before heading to the airport the next morning so i ended up paying $20 for 4 bottles of the Rocheforte 8 and a Rocheforte glass. I haven't tried it yet but i'm hoping it's similar to the Rocheforte 10 that was my favorite.
