Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Erastus if you want a tripel that lets the yeast sing,
La Fin du Monde if you want one that feels like a Belgian institution.
Both sit at 9% ABV and 30 IBUs, so the alcohol warmth and hop restraint are identical—it's really about fermentation character and how much tradition matters to you. Erastus leans into cleaner, brighter esters, while La Fin du Monde settles into richer, more honeyed territory. Neither is subtle, but they're aiming at different parts of the Belgian tripel spectrum.

Erastus
Erastus feels lighter on its feet than you'd expect from a 9% beer. The yeast work is pristine—you get those crisp, almost citrusy esters without any cloy, and the finish snaps dry. There's a faint white-pepper spice that keeps things moving. It's the kind of tripel that doesn't announce itself; it just builds quietly and leaves you wanting another sip.
La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde is the opposite move—it's confident from the first taste. Honey and subtle caramel depth show up immediately, and the body feels rounder, more pillowy. The Belgian yeast character is pronounced without being funky. It's the beer equivalent of a well-worn leather jacket: familiar, comforting, and unmistakably itself.
