Trois Pistoles
It's rare that I review a beer while drinking it these days...its usually from notes...but here I sit with a bomber of my second Unibroue and am much more impressed than the last offering. A- slightly hazy and cloudy black...shades of red and brown around the side....a little blue as well. A 3/4s inch head rose to the top of a tulip glass....a really nice presentation added to the corked bottle that the beer comes in. S- Big malty fruit aromas. Sweet and caramely...Lots of fruit....black cherry, sweet apple, plum, and berry. Light toffee. A hint of hops...citrus...yeasty esters, and a bit of alcohol. T Sweet malts....very fruity with out being sweet...cherry and apple again in the taste....caramel and toffee also come through. Light floral hops lighten up the body. M/D- Medium bodied and slightly thick mouthfeel, but the carbonation and hops lighten it up significantly....and the sweet malts hide the alcohol...so drinkable its kinda scary...and excellent beer.
