Also, Westmalle Triple is suppose to have floaties right? That's just the yeast sediment going crazy for no apparent reason right?
RIGHT?!??!??!?

I already got a second bottle of the Westmalle in my cellar at home, that I'll leave for a while. I'll wait a week or two before having the one in my fridge right now.

How was the La Fin du Monde after a year? I have one in my cellar right now.

It was actually really nice. Much better than I remember it (although to be fair, the last time I had it, I was really new to craft beer, and didn't really understand it). But the fruity elements seemed to be evolving quite well, and becoming more complex. The slightly rough alcoholic edge evident in most Triple's seems to be mellowing. The yeast flavour was pretty assertive, which I like, but not overly assertive. I'm glad I still have three more put away. I can't wait to see what my bottles of Trois Pistoles will be like in a year or two, or three, or five, etc.
