Saison & Bel Tripel - Keg or Bottle?

[CharlieM]

I'm wanting to make one of these styles next. But I've been reading that most people bottle these, saying they can't get the beer carbonated enough in kegs. Any thoughts or experiences kegging these? Does it need to age in the keg or is secondary aging sufficient? If it makes a difference, I'm a extract brewer .

Bottle, always bottle. For me anyways

I've noticed that my saisons, and especially high gravity Belgians age very well in bottles (years). Whereas, when I tried kegging a few, the bottles I did from the keg (purged with co2 beforehand) were very just blech after several months.

You can actually get them much, much more carbed (at least safely) in a keg. Most 12oz bottles arent really made to handle too much over 3.0 vol CO2
