Calavera Belgian Tripel if you want complexity and boozy warmth,
Ch'Ti Grand Cru if you want drinkability with restraint.
Both sit in that Belgian golden zone, but Calavera swings for higher ABV punch while Ch'Ti plays it cooler. The IBU gap is tiny—neither will bite your face off—so it really comes down to whether you're chasing a sipper or something you can pace.

Tasting notes
Calavera Belgian Tripel
Calavera hits with that classic tripel spice—clove and subtle banana that sneak up mid-sip. The 9% ABV isn't hidden; you feel it as a gentle warmth building in your chest, which honestly makes it feel more luxurious than aggressive. There's a dryness underneath that keeps it from getting cloying, even though the nose promises sweetness. It's the kind of beer that tastes better as it warms.
Ch'Ti Grand Cru
Ch'Ti is cleaner, brighter—less spice theatre, more honeyed malt foundation. At 8.4%, it sits lower and stays more delicate; you're not fighting alcohol, you're just enjoying the beer. The finish is crisp without being thin, and it's the kind of thing you could genuinely have two of without feeling wrecked. It's French restraint versus Belgian maximalism, basically.
