Trois Pistoles
Bought a 4-pk of this beer from Gabi's Wine & Spirits on Manchester Road in Manchester, MO. Poured into my Schlafly Tulip glass and has a BEST BEFORE 09-08-13 on the back. Appearance- Pours a Deep Brown with 2 finger, Tan head. Decent Retention with almost no lace on the sides, just Islands of leftover head. Smell- I can smell a huge amount of Cherries at first, and then there are notes of cinnamon and prunes possibly? Great! Taste- Very fruity upfront taste, has a darker taste then with a prune type of taste and then has almost a grainy/sawdust finish. Such a complicated and complexed beer. Very good as well. Mouthfeel- Light-Medium Bodied, High amount of carbonation and a warming feeling all the way through. Overall- A very nice ale! I wouldn't be able to drink all night, but enjoyed thoroughly. I would say the La Fin Du Monde is still more of a favorite for me but this one was also a hit for me. I like how all the ales from this Brewery are very complexed and are presented well. Will be having more!
