750ml bottle. Cork comes out with a nice loud thud, but no gushing. Quite different than you would expect from the name, there is not really any white chocolate, cocoa, or chili pepper tone that jumps out in your face. Body is superb, clean and effervescent, with a dry, herbal hop finish..perhaps the chili peppers add to that. Perhaps missing the target, but in an excellent way. This is a great Belgian Ale, sort or a gruit feel, lots of subtle herbal nuances. Body really carries it. Awesome lemon-lime saison tone comes out the more it breathes, so does the chili pepper. White Chocolate was handled perfectly, never giving a candy bar pastry tone, just that nice balance. Awesome beer.

Sampled at Max's Belgian Fest 2p24 is a clear yellow with some creamy white head. Nose has herbs and honey and light candy. Weird. Maybe some green peppercorn but otherwise no hint of chile and no hint of cocoa. Flavor is also quite herbal. Malt and dandelion and grass and savory herbs. Finishes dry. This was better but not great.
