I found a much older bottle of Westmalle Tripel among the more recent ones at the beer store. It has no date of production on it, but it has the older, rectangular label (instead of the current diamond-shaped one).
The 'best-before' date on the older bottle is for April 2006, so it is at least three years older than the one I bought last week dated best-before January 2009. Anyone have any idea when this one was made?
I'm going to buy a more recent bottle to do a side-by-side and see how it has changed with age. Anyone know what I should be looking for? While I love Belgian beer, I don't know a lot about how they age. I'll post my impressions here.
