De Koninck Triple d'Anvers
De Koninck's triple has this almost floral snap to it—like someone cracked open a spice cabinet and let the coriander and orange peel do most of the talking. The alcohol hides beautifully. It's crisp for an 8%, with a finish that doesn't linger so much as evaporate, leaving you wanting another sip before the glass is even empty.
Hertog Jan Tripel
Hertog Jan feels heavier in the hand and on the palate, even though the ABV is identical. There's honey and bread crust, a slight graham cracker sweetness that builds toward the back. The finish is longer, warmer—more of a slow fade than a snap. It's the kind of tripel that makes you sit with it.
