Try St. Bernardus Abt 12 or Trappist Rochefort 10 if you want to try a world class abbey ale. They're about 1/3 of the price of Westy 12.
I've had Westy 12 and it's a great beer, but not worth $85+ per gift pack (6 pack of beers with 2 cheap goblets). The reason for the hype is that this release is the first time it's officially been sold in the U.S.
