No but I have one and can open it Monday on my day off! Strictly for science.
Sounds like the same batch that I found in PA in Feb of last year that I bought 2 cases of.
Ive been popping a bottle every 4-6 months and the evolution has been subtle. It has a greeness of yeast about it, slight phenolic spice and underlying fruitiness. A fairly middle of the road tome that is sure to please any saison fan. Infact, I just opened a different bottling last night that I believe was a recent shelf pickup by beeraroundtown and it had the white logo cap on it and tasted nearly identicial.
Opened a 2014 Brise Bons-Bons last night. Had an amazing Nelson Sauvin character to it. No clue if that is what is in it, but there was a well defined grapety grapeness to the flavor which is pretty distinct to that hop, so if that was all fruity esthers, damn.

I think this bottle was late 2015 but I forgot to label it so am not certain. Very yeast forward, very fruity with just a touch of tartness and a good deal of funk to round it out. This one tastes just a bit boozier than most batches, but not at all off putting. I actually enjoy this one a great deal. I will say this could rest for another few years without detriment to the liquid gold inside. Another successful cellaring of fantome, albeit one I probably opened a little too soon!

I decided to follow up the 2015 with a BB 2013 Sur lie. Despite the appearance this has prickly, almost gueuze like carbonation. Not the strawberry bomb that 2015, or other batches from 2009/2010 were. More granny smith apples, lemon and really funky. This is a fun afterwork drink on easter Sunday!

Go for the trifecta! Have the 2014 Belgian bottling that was the big tropical fruit heavy batch? That was one of my all time favorites.

Followed it w firstone bravo. I miss sucaba, but sometimes you cant share a 13% beer and a 12 oz format is a little more forgiving format.

Reported. Off topic.
Not sure I'm sold on this one. Dark belgian notes trying to blend with the lemony, grassy Tome funk. Getting better as it breathes.
B2 bottle last night geysered on me. Uncorked it straight out of the fridge, didn't even let it come to temp because of warnings above. Still...fucking...exploded...everywhere.

All these sexy 'tomes and the only one I ever see in Seattle is Hiver.
Seriously feels bad, man.

Buy all of it! (Feelz better)
Is it just me or has Dany not brewed any of the original classics in awhile... ie Blanche???
I've been waiting for a new beer release on Etre Gourmet for a while

The new Printemps is up now. I ordered a gang of that. I'd be pumped for Blanche though.

Granted, this is only based on bottles released in the US and what's on Etre. I think his last few Blanche brews were turned into Villagio and Vertignasse.
