If I can't find "16 oz Lyle's Golden Syrup" what can I substitute?
"2 packets dried wine yeast as nutrient" What yeast did you use?

when you make a beer with a high abv and you want to age it... do you have to age it in the secondary or can they be aged in the bottles 6 months?
Yeah, you can age it in bottles. You might get a slightly more consistent aging if you do it in bulk in a secondary - sometimes bottles can vary a bit in terms of their temperature, amount of yeast in each one, etc - but bottle-aging would be fine (and certainly wouldn't change a good beer into a bad beer). If you'd rather not tie up a secondary then bottle aging would be a good decision.

I brewed this the on 1/1. It's kegged now and very drinkable. Next time I brew it I will add two or three pounds more ME. The starting gravity is a little low for this style of beer and needs a little more IMO. But overall I am very happy with the outcome and will be aging it a little before I dive into it.
There are other Belgian candi syrups you could probably use. You should be able to find it on one of the online sites like AHS. Austin Homebrew Supply
I used 2 packets of Lalvin K1V-1116 wine yeast.

Did you use LME or DME? I just finished brewing this recipe and ended up with an OG of 1.086. I didn't substitute any of the grain, but I did sub in 7lbs sparkling amber DME for the extract. With the listed attenuation of 75-80% for the trappist ale yeast, this puts it right on track for about 9% alcohol which is what Chimay blue is. I can't see how even a starting OG of 1.068 would produce 9% abv. Maybe this is a typo in the recipe?
Yeah that's it. You can make your own very easily though.
Just do a google for "making invert syrup".
It's basically a pound of white sugar, a bit of water to make it a thick slush, and then a dash of lemon juice.
Cook it slowly and bring it to a slow boil...stirring. Eventually it will begin to darken.
Once it's at the right shade ( I usually get a light straw color), it's ready. I make mine an hour or so before brewing so I can just dump it in at the end of the boil.
