Beer-a-Day #282
Trois Pistoles was launched in June of 1997. It contains 9% alcohol and is brewed with roasted malt. Its rich, smooth texture, and the presence of yeast used for in-bottle refermentation give it a very distinctive flavour.
This dark beer and has an aroma of ripe fruit and a pleasant aftertaste that lingers like old port wine.
Trois Pistoles can be enjoyed before a meal or after, and is excellent with pasta as well as game meat and wild fowl.
It also enhances the flavour of desserts like chocolate mousse and fruit salad, and can even replace coffee as an after dinner drink
Deep mahogany color with a strong head. Fruit and cereal aroma; fairly complex. Maybe a bit of chocolate in the taste as well. Interesting.
Ron says: Earthy, cereal aroma. Reminded me of dark chocolate covered cherries.
Hop Talk Advisory Panel says: Taste lingers too long and unpleasantly so, like a party guest that just doesn’t know when to go. There is a less-then-pleasant clove flavor.
