Unibroue Trois Pistoles

On tap at Bar Volo in Toronto. Dark mahogany colour with slight tan head. Sweet malty, dried fruit flavour, noticeable alcohol content. Lingering aftertaste.

Dark brown pour, minimal head fades quickly. Very pleasing aroma with a sweet fruity quality. Very carbonated in the mouth, Long bitey finish.

Tastes strong of an IPA with lots of hops, slightly smoother than some established IPA’s. Re-rate 8/26/09. Trying this 3 years after the original with tons more experience under my belt. Pours a dark brown with a quickly retreating head. Aroma is all of heavy scents. Dark wine, malts and heavy grape. Taste leaves a sharp tingle on the tongue with a dry finish. Heavy flavors also accompany the aroma. Not satisfying but damn good. Tastes of an IPA? What the fuck was I on?

Aroma is fruity with a smooth malty flavor. Apperance is nice. pours out dark with a light head that disappears quickly. Although it is a little too carbonated for our taste, overall it is a good brew and what we expected for a Unibroue.

Aroma is sweet, fruity notes everywhere, yeasty. Poured brown, plum in color with a nice off white head. A little heavy on the carbonation for my liking, seems to be typical Unibroue style. Flavor is mild with complex fruit notes and again, uniquely yeasty. Full bodied and stinging on the palate from the carbonation. Pleasing aftertaste. A nice brew.

Pours a dark chocolaty brown, aroma some yeast and dark fruits - flavour is really smooth, the Unibroue yeastiness is there but more subdued than in their other beers that I’ve had. Malt and slight sweetness throughout, with interesting spices. Really great beer!

Bottle pours dark brown with off white head. Head whisps away quickly. My first thought when I smelled this was ’do they use the same wacky yeast strain in all their beers?’ Aroma is strong yeast smell. Has a medium light mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation that creates a stinging on the tongue. Flavor is strong yeast taste and finishes with a slow alcohol burn. Their yeast in this is unmistakable. Just different. I don’t get fruits because of the strong combo of yeast and alcohol. Not bad though.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown, thin head. Very tasty with notes of fruits and spices. Very smooth and creamy, hides the ABV exceptionally well. looks fantastic in the glass, tastes very good as well. It doesn’t hit as hard as many Belgian Strong Ales, but it has great flavors and a very drinkable palate.
