La Fin du Monde if you want a lighter, more ethereal tripel, St.
Bernardus Tripel if you want richness and staying power. That 1% ABV difference matters less than the malt philosophy—La Fin du Monde feels almost delicate for a 9% beer, while St. Bernardus sits heavier on your palate despite being slightly lower proof. Same IBU count, but they're deployed differently: one's a high-wire act, the other's a velvet rope.

La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde drinks like Belgian yeast got let loose in a monastery garden—there's this bright, almost peppery spice that lifts before you taste any sweetness. The body is deceptive; 9% hides behind this crisp, almost champagne-like carbonation. Banana esters fade quickly, leaving dry stone and a whisper of honey. It's a beer that doesn't want to stick around.
St. Bernardus Tripel
St. Bernardus Tripel hits different—warmer right away, with deeper caramel and a creamier mouthfeel that the slightly lower ABV somehow amplifies. The yeast character is less flashy but more integrated, like it's been living in the beer for weeks. You taste white pepper, yes, but also candied orange peel and a faint toast note. It lingers, which is the point.
