What sets Belgian style beers apart from every other style?

That is funny. ... I have made a Belgian for my Christmas light beer for the last 5 years mostly for the higher abv and the cold that comes around here on thanksgiving night. After serving them to everyone who has come over to see the Christmas lights over the last few years there are always neighbors and the occasional passers-by that stop by to find out more about the beer and to make sure that I am doing lights every year.
The beer that seemed to be the favorite was the Belgian tripel that I made 2 years ago, 2nd I think would be Belgian golden I made last year.

And definitely a yeast thing for the fruit and spice flavors. Belgians tend to be sweeter than other beer styles.
