Commercial Description:
Strong Belgian type ale similar to a Port wine ! Is as dark as can be, mellow in taste with an aroma of ripe fruits. It can be compared to an old porto and is brewed from well roasted malt.

An almost odorless beer at first pour. It opens up a little and has some fruity notes. A nice, somewhat flat attack which gives way to a slightly sweet and sour finish. A nice aftertaste, that is a bid earthy/almost grassy but only a hint.

Light beige / kahki head that persists for awhile at a 3/4 cm height. Smell is...exquisite. Dark, rich smelling spices. Fig with definitely a hint of port. This beer is a muddy dark chocolate color. 4-5 waves of flavor hit the palate - first deep roasty malt, then spice and a mellow, earthy aftertaste. Very nice.

This beer poured the color of rich earth with a tight, caramel colored, well bubbled head that dissipated quickly. The aromas of licorice, and malt promised that the best was yet to come. On the palate it’s vigorous carbonation was followed by a thick and smooth and creamy feel with a rich, roasted malt taste and a fruity finish. Certainly, the commercial description of a Port wine and ripe fruit is completely accurate. The complexity of this beer made every sip an adventure.

Trois Pistoles is a very dark beer, as dark as a stout or porter, although there is a certain dark, dark ruby colour in there. It pours to a great head made up of nice tight small bubbles and settles to hold a head which....looks a bit like an Irish Coffee! This is a complex beer and not one which is easy to describe, the flavours change from the first taste right through to quite a drawn out aftertaste

Bottle pours out a nice mahogany topped with a small head. Aroma of sweet pit fruit and rich malt. Tast was more of the sweetness along with a nice spice. Plenty of the belg yeast and malts. A nice brew.

J’aimerais commencé par dire qu’il y a plus de 12 ans, cette bière a été un élément déclencheur dans ma vie car pour la première fois j’aimais la bière! Quelle puissance, j’en était estomacqué. J’ai eu la chance de dégusté cette bière âgé de 9 ans mais vu la circonstance je ne les pas analysé, j’ai profité du moment..... et quelle moment! Dégusté dans un verre trappiste de chimay à la température de la pièce. Armonisant une couleur brun foncé au reflet rougeâtre avec un bon dépôt de levure. Une bonne mousse et une légère gazéfication confèrant à cette bière beauté et prestige. Olfactivement, elle dégage une odeur d’houblon frais, de fraise, de mûre, de culture lactique, de muscade, avec un soupçon de prune et de bébé banane verte. Un goût de sirop d’érable avec une pointe d’amertume et de salé. Une bière complète en elle même, un chef d’oeuvre, une création artistique digne de mention suivis de la recherche d’une perfection insoupçonnée vers l’apogée d’un moment de plénitude. Un mélange de pain de seigle, de boisé madérisé, de thym, de prune et de mûre. Un goût qui par expérience confère a cette bière magie et mystère. Un vieillissement sympose car cette bière gagne en complexité avec l’âge. Me concentrer sur le goût est difficile car en se moment je vie un moment, de plénitude....

From750ml bottle. Rich and dark great flavor. Dark fruits, yeast,you can sure taste the alcohol, but it is well balanced in the beer.
