Trois Pistoles
750ml bottle split. Poured into a Duvel Tulip. Best by date of 11/11/2011 as well as opening, glassware, and pouring instructions. A - Almost opaque black with ruby highlights. Thick tan fluffy head that's got a good level of retention. Not much for lacing though. S - A good delicate combination of esters, more specifically banana. Clay hints. Big yeast as well as some light sweet malts. Citrusy aroma pairs well with a very fruity smell and some bread. T - Rich and bold yet delicate and complex. Fruity like crazy and yeasty as well as sweet with a superb citrusy balance. Slight spice. A mineral water hint is the only drawback to the flavor. M - Smooth and rich, this velvety beer flows smoothly across the palate! D - Easily drinkable despite its foreboding packaging and color. Totally awesome!
