Way to go, Keith.
I'm making a La Fin du Monde clone attempt in a couple months, stepping up the dregs of La Fin bottles to try to get the most authentic results, but also splitting the batch to try out Lallemand Abbaye. I'd be interested to hear if you have any thoughts on these two yeasts, and if you're willing, what yeast you use.
Cheers.
Nice job.
But Straffe Hendrick? Really?
Yes, congratulations. Nice companyNice job.
But Straffe Hendrick? Really?
And what is wrong with a Straffe Hendrick tripel? I like it a lot. The author's "boozy but dry" description is spot on.
Way to go, Keith.Dave, I'm interested to hear your results. I love the Unibroue strain, but I've only ever used the Wyeast version. I've never stepped it up from dregs. Have you considered using Blanche de Chambly for the dregs instead of La Fin? It's only 5%, so I'm thinking that the yeast is probably in better shape.

Personally I think it's OK, but would never have it behind the Westmalle, or even the Watou.

Hard to argue with blind taste tests though. They seemed to have some good judges.
Unless the dreaded "palate fatigue" set in :-)
Not staying that all long flights like this are invalid but... well, I can't finish this sentence any other way.
