Unibroue Trois Pistoles

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

Sweet yeasty aroma like a Belgian dubbel... Dark brown to black in color with a slight light tan head... Light crisp sweet flavor with a yeasty kind of bitter finish... Some definite floral notes... Alcohol content is decently concealed... Hints of cinnamon as well... Pretty good beer considering I’m coming back from Belgium...

This beer is legit. Stumbled across a few extra bottles while cleaning out my dungeon. I appreciate the fantasy world this beer creates. It’s like the perfect beer for fighting demons 1000 years ago! Tastes pretty damn good too.

On tap at the Ginger Man, NYC. Very dark; seemed undercarbonated as most beers at this establishment did. Does not have the typical Unibroue flavour or alcohol character, for better or worse. Mellow to a fault. Would be a good beer for a dark, rainy fall night.

Bottle pours a rich looking mahogany color with a dense beige head that abruptly fades to a thin louter ring with a mound in the center of the glass. Aroma of fruit and yeast with some roasted malt. Flavor reminds me of red plums and other fruit with some malt sweetness and yeast added into the mix. Fairly dry mouthfeel with prickly carbonation. Nice aftertaste of spices with a slight tartness in the finish. The 9% is well hidden.

Very malty nose and a hazy, coke colored pour with a nice head. Very malty flavor with some apple/fruit overtones. Very short finish and overall weak mouthfeel.

750ml bottle from Ryans Party Store in Port Huron Pours a dark brown with a large fast disappearing tan head The aroma is dark fruit dark malt and spices The taste is dark fruit yeast malt and citrus

I’m cellaring a few bottles. The latest I drank only had 6 months old but was already sweeter, with more fruit and spices complexities than anyone I regularly had before. Remember: 10 YEARS aging potential, said a little booklet that was included in a Unibroue special package. It’s a beer I like even when fresh but don’t forget that it should be served at around 8-10 degrees celcius, at least... Maybe warmer....
