Erastus if you want a tripel that tastes like it's still figuring itself out—restless and interesting.
La Fin du Monde if you want the template done right, a confident Belgian that knows exactly what it is. Both sit at 9% ABV and 30 IBU, so the ABV isn't the story; it's the yeast and grain choices that separate them. Erastus feels like a brewers' experiment; La Fin du Monde is the standard other brewers measure against.

Erastus
Erastus hits you with spice first—clove and white pepper that jump forward before anything else settles. There's a peppery kick that lingers longer than typical for the style, almost like the Belgian yeast is still working even in your glass. The body feels leaner than you'd expect at 9%, which makes the alcohol sit higher and hotter. It's not quite crisp, not quite rounded—it's caught in a space that makes you want another sip to figure it out.
La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde is what happens when a brewery has refined a recipe over decades. Fruity esters bloom immediately—banana, pear, a whisper of stone fruit—then settle into this warm, almost honeyed middle. The finish is clean without being sharp; it disappears politely but doesn't vanish. This is a beer that tastes complete, like nothing was left out or added on a whim.
