Louisiana: Thanksgiving Day, Gourmands vs Burgundians

Today is Thanksgiving I am in Louisiana with my wife and her family to enjoy the holidays. I have brought along a selection of seasonal and Belgium beers to sample and make notes. The tasting selection is:

Tripel Karmeliet
Delerium Tremens
St Arnolds Christmas Ale

mouth feel.
