[ [ [ bloggin space w i k i ] ] ]La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde is a rich and sophisticated golden Tripel[1] from Unibroue,[2] has earned several international titles thanks to its refined taste marked by notes of grains, fruit and spice, supported by a slight bitterness. It is a tribute to Quebec, the land encountered by 16th-century French explorers who thought they'd reached the end of the world.
That's all well and good, but the real reason why this beer is featured here on this blog is because it has a 9% ABV.[3] A bottle of this stuff will make the night interesting.
My Experience
Evidently, Unibroue is now selling this stuff in aluminum cans.[4] I have never had one, but if they do it right (they never do), it will be great. My experience is with the 750ml cork topped bottle.[5] My impression of that bottle was "this beer is incredible." So yeah, that is the extent of my experience. I have gone back and tried the beer several times. I must say, again, that the attraction to this beer is the ABV.
Awards
The beer industry seems to have a billion awards for everything. If you win a tasting contest at a local town's "brew-fest," sites like BeerAdvocate will tack some sort of award on your brew.
