Unibroue Trois Pistoles


Region: Quebec, Canada
Type: Strong Dark Ale
Finish:
Bottle Fermented
Price: $12 for a 4-pack
Alcohol Level: 9%

And now for something completely different! This beer is a thing of beauty. Pitch black opacity with a small head, this beer has a very strong roasted flavor that hits the palate like a 2x4, but with a sweetness that seems to almost mirror a dessert wine in the finish. It is a monster of a beer. Drink from either a goblet or a cognac glass for optimal feel and flavor. Unibroue claims it will cellar for up to eight years. Enjoy responsibly, as it hits you rather hard.
