I know that both come from Chimay and they're the same yeast, but my question is: Do they REALLY have the same flavour?
I brewed several times with T58, but never with 1214. Is there a difference in flavour between these two yeasts?
 
I’m pretty sure they’re not the same strain at all. I haven’t used 1214 but have messed with T-58 a bunch. T-58 can’t ferment complex sugars so you have to mash incredibly low for a long time in order to get it to not stop at 1.020. I think it’s a really odd yeast, tons of pepper in the mid 60s, then really fruity above 72.
 
In several articles and post I read that they’re the same strain, but I never tried 1214. Someone has ever used it?
