It will be extremely nice to see this, hopefully sometime the Blonde and especially the Extra which in blind tastings kicks Westy 12's Trappist ass.

I will fully support the 'training wheels' version 8 Bruin until we see the Extra, if ever.

there's extra in the latter.

but seriously, it is an amazing beer. even if you age it for 1 year, it just becomes that much more incredible. doesn't have the plum or spice that st berny 12 has
