My friends went to Belgium, and came back with this for me-
- Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue)
- Orval Trappist Ale
- Westmalle Trappist Tripel
- Trappist Westvleteren Blonde
- Trappist Westvleteren 8
- Trappist Westvleteren 12
Super excited to try these out.
Question- the people who brought them back for me said some may have leaked, and indeed the Westvleteren 8 seems to be sticky on the outside. Also, all of the Westvleteren bottles have some bubbles in the bottle neck- should I chalk this up to having flown across the ocean, or is this a symptom of a poor seal?
Should I attempt to tighten the existing cap with my bench capper? Should I recap with a new cap? Should I drink quickly? I was hoping to save some of these for a longer time.
