Unibroue Trois Pistoles

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

Dark ruby-bronze with a huge, frothy Belgian-style beige head. Terrific fragrance that is nearly indescribable, but suggests roses, berries, and a woodshop. Pleasing complex, organic flavor. Moderately sweet flavor of nectar. Soft palate. I totally dig this beer.

This was far better than I even expected. One of the best beers I’ve had in a long time. Very memorable. I loved the Belgium style ale with a great reddish tint. It has a wonderful dark brownish red caramel look. It poured with a nice thick bubbly head and it almost resembled champagne in its carbonation. My only problem with this beer was over carbonation. Otherwise it was fantastic. The aroma and taste reminded me of raspberry brandy, with a hidden cherry flavor as well. I felt that the alcohol was dangerously hidden as it was a very easy beer to drink.

Wow. Very dark and hoppy. Roasted malts are apparent, and blend nicely with the silky belgian feel. This beer put a hurting on me after only two......not the 750 ml bottles. I got a six pack of 330 ml. I like belgian styles with roasted malts.

Pours dark murky brown with a medium, very long lasting tan head. Rich malty caramel aroma with notes of plum, chocolate, port and alcohol. Silky smooth medium-full mouthfeel. Sweet, suprisingly inoffensive taste. Starts sweet caramel and progresses to raisins and chocolate. Slightly dry finish, with a hint of alcohol in the aftertaste, along with some lingering spices. Really top drop. I could sip this all evening.

Very Very Very good beer. I am having this for the first time as I write this. I am very impressed. Nice head nice everything. Very lively in my mouth. This beer realy warms you up. Why have I not had this beer before! I will no longer forsake thy brew!

Decent head from the pour but does not last long. Good carbonation throughout. Excellent color and clarity of dark red/brown. Somewhat fruity aroma initially then the alcohol kicks in. Not a beer for the faint of heart. Warms you as you drink it. Hints of a rich wine taste. Finishes smooth and clean and with an alcohol kick. Definately a sipping brew. Excellent brew and one to savor.

pours a dark tan/brown with active CO2 and a good head. nose is a nice blend of dark malts and spicy/fruity yeast charecter. the flavor is a nice combination of light roast and fruits, with a suprisingly light finish. really hides its 9%.

A wonderful fruity nose, a rich umber color, a flavor most unexpected in a dark ale of ripe plums, cherry, yet not sweet or cloying, a pleasing aftertaste. I had this excellent brew at a football party and even the Coors Light devotees (what can I say, old friends of mine) agreed that this is one mighty tasty ale, perhaps there is hope for them ;-)
