trappist ale

Anybody got a trappist ale recipe? I've been using this trappist ale yeastfor months but I've yet to actually brew a traditional. It still tastesgood, just imparts this subtle sweet banana flavor to it everytime thatnobody ever comments on. I think it's the yeast, I'm pretty carefulcleaning the equipment everytime and bottling beercaps. Anybody got atraditional recipe out there? I always just wing it and write down what Ido. It's the first yeast I've ever bought and a good one. Anybody outthere recommend another type of yeast? I've been dreaming of a trappiststout for a couple of months now and I've come up with a question... shouldI use lactose to thicken with or oatmeal? At least I think you can do itwith both. I think I might have to go with oatmeal because I don't recallthe supply store carrying lactose. What do you recommend?

In your recipes you mention Rochefort 8 clone and here you mention Roche 10, I love both the 8 and the 10 but just to be sure is it the 8?

I will surely try it (and the others) when i finally make the move to full grain, thanks for the recipes.

The recipe I posted is for the 8. If you add some extra sugar to get the OG up, it's the 10.
