Herman Holtrop clone of the Rochefort 8 is worth brewing.  So If you bump up the gravity
of the 8, you may be able to get very close???
It was the base beer for my wonderful  sour cherry solera.

I just kegged a quad. I used Denny's recipe as a baseline with a few small alterations to the malt bill. I caremalized 5 oz each raisins, dried sweet cherries, dates, and prunes and added to the secondary. It's going to age in the keg for a year. The hydrometer sample was awesome. I'll let you know how it tastes in about a year. I won't be brewing another until I at least taste this one.

Yeah, great recipe - brewed it several times. And when I try to brew something similar to 10 I scale it up to ~ 1.096 OG - the OG Stan H reported in BLAM. I've read that 10 doesn't scale linearly from 8 but it makes a great beer anyway.
