Excellent. On the lighter side.

Great fruity with the typical florally Belgian style yest nose, slightly rocky head, low alcohol bite for 9 point,

Full flavor with a bit of an alcohol bite. Flavored like a beer with an even higher alcohol content.

2009 keg tapped for us at Thanksgiving. Delicious & evil, not necessarily in that order.

My 4 star rating is not for the bottled Trois Pistoles, but for draft tapped from a 2008 keg. Had a caramel/chocolate bouquet & flavor undertone, but also a subtle smokiness. Malt taste more subtle than the bottled one, with no fruity aspect.

Tastes and smells like dark fruits and Belgian yeast typical of a strong dark ale. Doesn't taste overly boozy. Flavors aren't as strong, vibrant or fruity as the Unibroue 17 but still a tasty beer.

Fruit cake smell and taste

At first hated. Too much carbonation and overpowering at 45 degrees. Drank 1/4 of it then had to leave it to do chores. Came back to a beer nearly room temp and almost flat and enjoyed it much more. Bottle from Calandro's in Baton Rouge.

A staple.

Creamy head with a dark chocolate color, like most BSD's. Aroma of oak and cocoa with a sweet and spicy tinge like brandy. Very smooth and rich mouthfeel, almost sticky sweet. Strong malt and chocolate to match the nose, with a dry savoriness reminiscent of stone fruit. Complex and amazing ale, best subtly chilled
