Unibroue Trois Pistoles

Let me start off by saying I love this beer. This Belgian strong ale has a flavor profile that seems to harken back to its label. Dark and mysterious there is a lot going on with this brew. Bottle fermented there are still some little yeasties floating around after a rough pour which lend a creamy character to the body. Nicely carbonated this brew has a malty, caramely, taste with hints of port and chocolate brownie on the backend. It would go great with beef or a chocolate dessert of some kind. I know it sounds sweet but this beer is anything but. At 9% ABV it could end up making you feel like the "devil horse" on the label kicked you in the head if you down more than one of the 22 oz bottles that I had. I wish I was less of a light weight so I could have had another and still drove home.
