Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for La Fin du Monde
◎ Appearance
La Fin du Monde presents a brilliant golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine white head that demonstrates impressive retention. The carbonation is crisp and lively, creating a cascade of delicate bubbles that enhance its elegant presentation.
◌ Aroma
The nose is complex and inviting, leading with fruity esters of ripe banana and subtle citrus zest. White pepper and clove spice notes emerge alongside a honey-like sweetness, with the Belgian yeast character providing a sophisticated, slightly herbal backdrop.
◐ Taste
The palate enters sweet and malty with a full body and creamy mouthfeel, followed by developing yeast-driven complexity and warming spice notes. The mid-palate reveals additional fruit character and a subtle dry element, while the low 18 IBU bitterness remains restrained, allowing the malt and yeast complexity to dominate.
◑ Finish
The finish is long and warming with a pleasant dry quality that prevents cloying sweetness. A subtle alcohol warmth lingers gently, leaving residual notes of clove and citrus that encourage another sip.
Serve & Enjoy

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
