I purchased a 6-pack online and unfortunately two of the six bottles arrived  broken.   The box was not packaged well at all - a single layer of thin styrofoam on all sides of the 6-pack.   The Westvleteren cardboard 6 pack holder was ruined.    I'm sure the post office was glad to get the stinky box out of there!

I have requested two additional bottles from the seller to replace the ones broken.  Hopefully he will agree and I won't have to go down the path of a paypal dispute.

The other four bottles look good, although one doesn't have the "trappist" collar on the bottle - I'll have to inquire online about that.   All have the "best by" date code of May 27 2013, which is 3 years from bottling - which means it was bottled just over a month ago.   Now I have to come up with an occasion to try it!
