Ok, so, I'm back! Got a pay-day and I had to go out and buy some exotics. La Fin du Monde was one of my three picks. I'm gonna come right out and say it, I'm not a fan of tripels or abbey style beers; I feel they are over priced, fall short in taste, and have an egg-y feel. Idk, man, must be the yeast?Saying that, I'm going to stick with my conviction. This beer is malty, salty, and flat. I like a beer with character, with personality. This beer tastes like 312 on steroids.
That said, La Fin du Monde has a corn taste with orange notes. I would take it any day over an imported lager, but it has yet to beat my go-to IPA.
Considering this, take into account that Beer Advocate rated this beer a 100... (are you kidding me). Their users rated it a 96, I'd give it a 80 so... Maybe I'm just crazy -- or a beer GENIUS.
