Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Unibroue Trois Pistoles Belgian
Strong Dark Ale.
From the Unibroue website:” Trois Pistoles
(Three Coins) is named after a small village of Quebec. Founded over 300 years
ago, Trois Pistoles gave birth to several legends, including one about the
Black Horse. It involved a local bishop who conjured up a good devil (appearing
in the form of bridled black steed) to haul large brick stones to construct a
new church. When someone accidentally removed the bridle, the black horse
suddenly vanished just as the last remaining stone was to be set. This stone is
still missing, as can be seen when visiting the local church.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a large cream colored
head and nice lacing.
Aroma: Roasted malts, chocolate, dried dark fruits, spices
and rum.
Taste: Dark fruits, sweet and roasted malts, chocolate,
spices and hints of molasses.
Overall: Smooth and exceptional, Unibroue Trois Pistoles
Belgian Strong Dark Ale is complex and very drinkable. At 9% ABV this might not be something you’ll
drink a lot of, but you’ll want to. The
alcohol is well hidden by the incredible flavors. Pick some up…you’ll be glad you did!
Cheers!
