Trois Pistoles
75cl bottle corked and caged. Poured into a chalice glass and it throws up a solid pale chocolate head that invokes thoughts of a strong latte. Speaking of coffee and chocolate - trois pistoles puts both to shame in terms of its darkness. Smell brings the notes of dark fruits and roasted nuts. The dark intimidating hues coupled with a fine nose promises a great taste and the drinker will not be disappointed. Complexity defines the taste of this beer. For the first second of holding this beer in the mouth there is a feeling of disappointment but that quickly builds into a toasty fruit taste coupled with a strong chocolate and molasses burst. This explosion of contrasting, yet wonderful, flavors eventualy gives away and the drinker is almost left with a crispy feeling. The initial mouthfeel is heavy yet evenly weighted. The mid swing towards fruit et al and its a beautiful experience. Not an all rounder and in no way a session beer. More like a late night sipper or a peaceful experience on a cold and rainy saturday afternoon - this is extremely drinkable. Legendary beer!
