Unibroue Trois Pistoles

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

Bottle. Pours a rich reddish brown with an off-white head. Nose is massively concentrated, with loads of fruit, a vinous character, coffee, chocolate, sour apple, plum, and a whiff of alcohol. Palate is soft but rich, builds in the mouth as it rolls over the tongue. Roasty, rich, very fruity, loads of dark fruit, cherries, banana, wit caramel, nuts, and a very wine-like finish. One of Unibroue’s very best.

As good as they get in my opinion. Mildly sweet, extremely smooth. Alcohol well hidden. Unibroue’s best brew

Pours hazy brown with a bulbous off-white head. Aroma is yeast, tart cherry, lemon, and more mild sweet fruits-apricot, raisin, plum. Taste is a mellow dark fruit, vanilla, toffee, not sour, no bitterness, just sweet smooth and creamy. Very delicious, finishes with a very soft bitter roast and the alcohol is hardly noticeable but there just enough. I love to let this sit for about an hour and then come back to it for a less carbonated drink.

Pours a dark brown with a caramel head that goes away quickly and there are a lot of large particles floating around. Aroma is yeast, spices, grapes, cherries. Very sweet, cherries, grapey-wine taste. Definitely can taste the similarities to a port. Interesting stuff, and a good dessert beer.

750ml pours a murky brown almost black with a lot of floaties. It has a gray head which doesn’t stick around very long. Smell of fruit and some vanilla. The taste is smokey and fruity with a very light after taste really can’t taste the alcohol. This beer I will definitely drink many more times.

12 oz. bottle into tulip. Pours a very dark, murky brown with moderate beige head which mostly dissipates. Thin lacing throughout. Very, very pleasant aroma of dark fruit (raisin, fig, plums), slight caramel and vanilla, wood and hint of alcohol. Also well-carbonated throughout. Wonderful flavor and excellent finish of dark fruit. Yes, it has a kick but to me is well hidden. It is enticingly smooth & mellowfor its style and ABV. Yeast formations remain with head. Getting better as I partake of this great beer - a rival to the trappists IMO and cannot wait to have my 2nd - Cheers!

Poured from Bottle into Snifter glass. Pours a deep murky dark-brown with a booming slightly off-white head that is very bubbly and quickly dissolves to create a nice layer across the glass. The aroma is full of fresh berries with some yeast and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is sweet plums, slight bready malts and some dried fruits which I’m having a hard to naming. Its a very light beer and more than efficiently carbonated. Even before I knew what good beer was all about, this beer had me hooked from the first time. Extremely enjoyable.

Outstanding effort from Canada. Pours chocolate brown, almost opaque, with a thick, enduring head. Solid retention and intricate lacing all the way down. Aroma is of cherries, yeast, and certainly some alcohol. Some fruity flavors - raisins, plums, figs - and yes, more alcohol. arbonation that dances on the tongue, smooth, silky mouthfeel. Lingering aftertaste of dark fruit.
