La Fin du Monde (18C) - EXTRACT Homebrew Ingredient Kit

I brewed a batch of this awesome beer. Fin is one of my favorites too. I think this kit tastes better than the real thing. There are a few others that would agree with me having taken part in a taste test. This kit should be tried by EVERY BEER DRINKER.

I got this kit as a gift for Christmas. Im a few days into the secondary and it seems to be pretty dark. It is my first Clone Kit and I am hoping that the flavor profile is correct. (I love this beer!) I will hold opinion until I crack the first cap. I will post an update when I do.

I bought the extract version of this kit with Wyeast 3864 (Canadian/Belgian). It produced a decent Belgian Triple, but definitely not a clone of La Fin du Monde. Probably the biggest difference between this kit and La Fin is that the kit doesn't use ANY spices. I added (not called for by the kit recipe) 1 tbsp fresh orange zest and 1 tsp ground coriander at 10' and it was still very underspiced in a side-by-side comparison. The other apparent difference is that the kit produced more of a caramel-like flavor than is found in La Fin. I did a late extract addition so I believe this flavor and the slightly darker color may be from all the specialty grain (3lbs.) used in the kit recipe.

This took a bit to come around but is worth it. Nails it. My friends who are fans of LaFin said this was even better than the real thing. Good job AHS

This is by far the best clone kit I have ever brewed! I had a brew party, with 6 kegs on tap, and the La Fin was freshly tapped. Everyone absolutely loved it. They couldn't believe that I brewed it...from the time the aroma hits your nose, it seems like the original. I am undoubtedly doing this one again! I just brewed a double batch of the Trois Pistoles Unibroue clone.....I'm hoping it's just as good as this one! Bottom line: If you like La Fin du Monde you WILL NOT be disappointed!
