Unibroue: Trois Pistoles
Name: Unibroue: Trois Pistoles
Brewed In/Type: Chambly, Quebec / Dark Belgian Ale
Bought at/Price: Binny's / $18.99 variety pack (8 12oz bottles)
Dennis: For some unknown reason to me, my first sip reminded me of when I was a kid eating a grape tootsie roll pop (damn I still love those things). The taste and aroma are classic Unibroue, but there's a certain fruity tart bitterness that really adds something special. You can really taste the alcohol compared to other brews (9% alcohol). I think this time they laid off the Belgian sugars and let the bitter come through...with good results.
Jen: For Unibroue, this seems to have very few bubbles in it, although, it does have a very smooth flavor. The color of this beer is a rich and dark. I get a nice warm feel from the slight alcohol twinge in it. There is a mild presence of some fruits and sugar with a mild spiciness to it that leaves a tingle on my tongue. Other than their Ephemere, this is my most liked Unibroue's.
Rating: 4.25 out of 5
Comments
the very first taste of this beer that i had was in a beer pub in atlanta. i personally love beer and for the mist part any beer put in front of me i will drink, but when i tasted the rich clean full flavor of tres pistoles i dare say that i have raised the bar for what a good beer should be! tres pistoles is a beer that you can really enjoy. i hzve had many self proclaimed non beer drinkers taste a 'sip' of tres pistoles and very quickly change their mind on what beer is like. this is a bar seting beer that all should try.
