Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Curtius Triple if you want Belgian yeast funk and spice bite,
La Fin du Monde if you want honeyed smoothness.
Both sit at 9% ABV and 30 IBU, so strength and bitterness are identical—the difference is pure character. Curtius leans peppery and dry, while La Fin du Monde feels almost dessert-like. Neither overpowers; they just take different roads.

Curtius Triple
Curtius Triple hits you with real Belgian yeast character—that peppery, slightly phenolic snap that makes your palate sit up. The body's surprisingly lean for a tripel, which lets the spice and subtle orange peel notes breathe. Finishes dry and almost herbal, like the brewers aren't interested in coddling you. It's a thinking beer, not a coasting beer.
La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde is the velvet glove version. Golden honey and candied fruit dominate, with enough body to feel luxurious on your tongue without being heavy. The Belgian esters are there but softer, more perfumed than peppery. It drinks deceptively easy for 9%—you could have three before realizing the alcohol's doing its job. This one actually rewards slow sipping.
