Trois Pistoles is one of the most interesting beers I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The flavoring is absolutely massive in itself. There are big hits of chocolate and smokey coffee, but they are complimented by a big hit of cherry and grape. It is a dessert beer that stands as a meal in itself. There is a ton of alcohol however, which shapes the beer very differently than anything I have ever had. The alcohol pairs hand in and with the deeper fruit notes creating a sweet wine finish. Trois Pistoles tasted like a fine port mixed with a delicious quad, I have not had much like it.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a glass chalice.

A: Dark appearance. Nothing out of the ordinary.

S: Very strong grape or raisin flavor through the nose, with hints of plum. Not a huge fan of that particular fruit note.

T: Very, very smooth with a strong grape/wine/raisin aftertaste. Very fruity with tinges of alcohol.

M: Smooth mouthfeel. Perfect blend of carbonation and silkiness.

O: Good beer, but not to my particular liking. 4.25/5.

A - Pours a dark raison color (mahogany/burgundy color) with a thin even, creamy layer of toffee colored foam.

A - Raisons, figs, Belgian spice, red grapes, light pepper, slightly bready.

T - Belgian spice, pepper, cloves, plums, cherries, earthy, slightly musty, red grape skins, figs. All the flavors are balanced throughout and the alcohol is completely masked which makes it deceptive.

M - Light medium body with silky light carbonation and lip smacking sticky.

O - Unibroue is a solid brewery and IMO dos a fine job.
