I am surprised you say Saison Dupont has a thin head. It has one of the thickest heads of any beer I have tried and I’ve tried quite a few.
One thing with the style of beer, it should be consumed soon after it goes on sale. A 2010 bottle is OK for 2011, but a 2009 will alter in character quite a bit. Still good, but totally changed character.
