Also have a good chunk of Vienna in there as well for some toasty malt backbone. Will be brewing the new IPA in 2 weeks with Brett C.

What I've notice...Justin, those look damn good! What I've noticed about Trois too is that increased phenol character, although I noticed that my beers above the 1.050 range would get markedly more phenolic than my lower gravity Trois beers. I also noticed how Trois seemed to mutate my hot side hop character. After a few batches of hoppy Trois beers, I started just using hop extract for bittering on the hot side as a single 60 min addition and just dry hopping the hell out of it cold for 7-10 days after the beer is bright. I noticed a more intent hop character this way, at least the hop character I intended the beer to have rather than what the yeast wanted to mutate it to. Whether Trois is Brett or not, it is still fascinating what it does to hops and how, like you say, it left the beer a little thin and watery which is consistent with the lack of glycerol production in Brett strains.
