Unibroue is quickly becoming my favorite brewery. Everything I've tried has been best in class. Let's see how Trois Pistoles measures up.
The aroma is of sweet, toasted malt and maybe a bit of black cherries. It's a nice aroma but mild. The color is a very dark brown with a large head.
Up front it is has a mild sweetness of roasted malt. A bit of chocolate. A bit of acid bites the back of the tongue. Then a nice moderate bitterness of the hops swells up. A good exhale completes it. The flavor lingers a bit on the tongue. Throughout it all is a mild sweetness. The label claims it's ripe fruit. After reading that and tasting it, yes, you could get a hint of fruit, possibly cherries and raisins. I wouldn't have guess that without reading it so it is a mild undertone.
Typical with Unibroue, this beer is high in alcohol (9%). It is completely masked by the flavors.
Not best in class but certainly a high quality beer. I recommend it completely.

absolutely love this beer and this brewery. For easier drinking grab a 750 ml of the Chambly Blanche, it is a white with tons of character but highly drinkable.
cheers,
Chad
