I've used this yeast on three batches and they have all turned out great. These batches were smoother and maybe slightly dryer than W1214, but I am horrible at describing taste (just know that it tastes good).
Here is the recipe for the last batch I made with this strain and it was especially good:
ARDENNES ALE III
Fermentables
9lb. Muntons Extra Light DME
1lb. Belgian Candy Sugar
1lb. Honey (Orange Blossom) [50 min]
Hops
Bittering 1.5 oz Styrian (4.2%); 0.5 oz Saaz (3.7%) (pellets)
Aroma 0.5 oz Saaz ; 0.5 oz Styrian [50 min]
Spices
1/2 oz bitter orange peel [45 min]
2 gm paradise seeds
