HOPIQ TAKE

Coppertail Unholy if you want a tripel that leans funky and approachable, Marvella Belgian Triple if you want something more classically restrained and malt-forward. Both hit 9% ABV and 30 IBUs, so you're in the same ballpark structurally, but the execution differs. Unholy tends to show more yeast character and slight edge, while Marvella plays it safer with traditional Belgian elegance. Neither will disappoint—it's really about whether you want personality or polish tonight.

TASTING NOTES

Coppertail Unholy

FruityBananaDry

Coppertail Unholy cracks open with that signature Belgian yeast snap—clove, a whisper of banana, maybe a touch of white pepper. There's an almost herbal bite underneath that keeps it from feeling too sweet, and the finish has this dry, slightly mineral quality that makes you want another sip. It's a tripel that doesn't hide; it announces itself. The 9% sits in the background, warming but never heavy-handed.

Marvella Belgian Triple

SweetBananaFruity

Marvella comes across as more delicate—softer spice notes, honey and caramel running through the middle, a cleaner fermentation profile overall. There's complexity here, but it's understated; the beer feels like it's inviting you in rather than demanding attention. The body is silkier than Unholy, and the finish lingers with a gentle sweetness before tapering off cleanly.
