I believe those original syrups came from a different company.

Whether or not Belgian breweries use those syrups, all I can say is that my Rochefort "homage" got a lot closer to the real thing once I started using them.

Those were the originally imported syrups. I believe they are just rebranded bulk Belgian syrups. They are quite good IMO.

Yep, they are.  Brian imported and rebranded them.  Several years later CSI was formed.

I remember using them in this recipe:

and it’s mate:

when I first started brewing. Dissecting and reverse engineering these recipes was what got me into brewing in general and Trappist beers in particular.
