Meh, too much money for my blood.
Cracked it open at 12:12 today. Frankly, I like my quad better.
I went to a site that was only selling on line. In the search field I enter "westvleteren", happily see the results showing "in stock". I click "add to cart", then another link to check out and..........d'oh!........the order isn't there. Happened twice. On the third try it said "out of stock." Pretty disappointing, but...trappist glass half full, it's $85 saved.
Same thing happened to me...Party Source in Bellevue, KY by any chance? I had it in my cart, but had to set up an online account. When I got back, it still said it was in my cart, but I couldn't check out. I came back a little later to try it again, hoping I still had it reserved in my cart...nope, out of stock.
My first mistake was probably trying to do this all on my phone. Oh well, I'm not too torn up over it. Like you said, I can find better ways to blow $85.
There must have been a bunch of us with this same result !
You might be able to get a bottle from westvleteren12.com. It worked for me. It is a good beer. I'll be setting it up against the Rochfort 10 and St Bernardis Abt 12 this weekend, and GES. But I think that I already know that Guinness Extra Stout is gonna win.
A couple buddies in my brew club in Ireland did a side-by-side tasting of Westy 12 and St. Bernardus 12 and there was unanimous agreement that the St. Bernardus was better. (Having said that I tried a 5 year old bottle in Amsterdam at the Bier Konig and it was world-beating stuff...)
I'd pick Rochefort 10 over unaged Westy 12 every time. Aged Westy 12 is something magical though. Mine has about 9 months on it since the bottling date already and I plan to open one bottle a year for 6 years and see how it ages.

Not sure I would jump on this one.
Is it bad to say I got kind of tired of Belgian beers when I was living in Europe?

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Westy 12 brick when all the bottles are in it?

What, have you found a suspiciously sized box wrapped for Christmas or something?

They are close to 6 wide, x 9 tall, x 12 long

I believe it's 3.
Ebay just wiped the 8 or so listings for this beer at an average of $550.00 per six pack.
Go Capitalism! No bailouts here people. Just some damn munks with a new roof who sold out. LOL
