Unibroue Trois Pistoles

Sweet beer. Aroma is a stinging fruit that is sharp to the nostrils. Taste is fruit with an alcohol taste that isn’t a burning sensation with a lot of Quebec strong beers. Instead it’s a smooth bite of malt and alcohol. Such a nice beer to sit back sip and relax.

Pours an incredible purple/maroon color with a bubbly white/rose head. Strong flower nose with a bitter finish. Not bad

very dark almost black, ruby highlights, light average surviving head . aroma of banana , roastiness, raisins. tastes of yeast, fruit; not managing to hide some alcohol.

Bottle. Pours a very deep brown and large beige head. There is a mild sweetness and yeast to the nose. The flavor is most surprising - there is a lack of sweetness for the color. A nice bitterness of the yeast and spicy fruity notes. Surprising, and enjoyalble.

A 12oz bottle... The head starts out tall like a cooking pot soaking in soap bubbles, but dies down. Deep, dark brown. Dark rose-black in the light. Thick and mega-cloudy; opaque. The smell is thick and grainy like a dark barleywine. Hints of dark grape. Heavy alcohol and port wine aroma. Almost like a red wine in the nose. The taste is lots of port wine and grainy sour malt flavors. Puckery and tart. Heavy alcohol finish. Dark stone fruits; grape and plum. Belgian spices at the end when it warms up. The feel is smooth and buttery but a little thick. Not at all gritty. Milky but smooth. It’s like a sour, ripe barleywine or strong ale. Tremendous to nurse for a long time. Great.

A bottle tasted at Silja Line. Beige fast disappearing head. Mild syropy nose. Dark brown reddish colour (Cola). Slightly sweet syropy taste. After adding the sediment hazyness. MIld hops.

Appearance: Pours a midnight maroon with a fluffy head that subsides to a white ring. Aroma: Unripe strawberries, sour grapes, fruity Belgian yeast, and brown sugar. Taste: Sweet red grape, plum skin, clove and spicy hop. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and fizzy. Overall: Another solid, tasty and strong beer from Unibroue.

Light, nutty aroma, moderate head. Tastes very dark fruity and nutty. The alcohol is masked so well in this one, I would never guess it was 9%. Very smooth, perfect level of carbonation. Can’t ask for much more in a beer.
