Unibroue Trois Pistoles

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

dark ruby-brown colour with a fine slightly brown-tainted head, yeasty and malty, notes of prune and licorice, sweet and full-bodied, lot of carbonation, long and very malty finish with notes of bread and alcohol

12 oz bottle. Lively carbonated chestnut colored w/ a substantial frothy white head. My personal fav’ from unibroue’s catalogue. Suprisingly refreshing for its 9% abv.

A dark brown colour with a creamy, yellow foam. Aroma of vinegar, chocolate and cherry. Vanilla flavour and a long finish with alcohol notes.

Moderate rocky head with good lacing on top a deep red brown ale. Aromas of yeast, dough and berries. Tastes like a chewy fruitcake with hints of blackcurrant, cherry and a faint licorice note. Excellent mouth coating finish that never gets cloying. A top beer.

Re-rate: Well, ten months of drinking can really change your understanding of beer. I still really enjoy this beer, but the initial 4.8 is a touch high. There are so many things to find in this beer. Plum, cherry, anise, sour apples, some nice spice and a hint of yeast. Very well done, indeed. 12/20/2001: My first impression of Unibroue, and I was highly impressed. I loved the fruit. Oh, and the head, marvelous. Excellent Belgian Strong syle.

The best birthday gift I ever got. Brilliant cherry/berries/cookie dough aroma. Deep brown color with beautiful rocky light brown head. Just the right amount of bitterness and sweetness. Vinuous and fruity. Only gets better as I drink more. Watermelon aftertaste. I am going back to the store tomorrow to buy more. Best beer I’ve had so far. UPDATE: this is just too cloying sweet for me now.

Dark brown with a very large light brown head, it dissipated rather fast for such a thick head. Sweet sour aroma with just a hint of wine and just maybe cloves. Tastes mildly sweet, hops are in a perfect balanced for this beer, again just the slightest hint of wine and cloves. These is an extremely mellow and well balance beer. A great beer

Hazy and dark brown appearance with a large foamy tan head. Complex and rich aroma of raisin, dried plums, vanilla and spices. Rich, smooth flavour of dark dried fruit, grapes, wood, yeast and smoke. Can also find small notes of vinegar and butter. Big and round finish of port, spices, yeast, dark plums, cherries and vanilla. Gee, this stuff rocks!
