Blogging Beverage: Trois Pistoles Dark Ale On Lees by Unibroue

 

On Thursday, Dolores and I went to the happy hour at Pinky and Pepe's Grape Escape in Kentlands to sample some of their draft beers. They have about a dozen craft brews on tap. They offer a flight of samplers to help customers discover new favorites.

Dolores' favorite was Trois Pistoles Dark Ale On Lees by Unibroue in Chambly, Quebec, Canada. If you enjoy mellow dark ales with a pleasant aftertaste, this is a good one for you to try.  Use the following links to read some of the reviews.

Beeradvocate Review - Rated as an outstanding world-class Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

Most of Unibroue's beers are bottled "on the lees", or containing yeast sediment (or lees). This practice provides additional fermentation after bottling. The result is a beer which ages well if kept in the dark and unrefrigerated, and allows it to be shipped relatively cheaply to international markets. The yeast gives Unibroue beers a cloudy appearance and provides a characteristic element to the taste.

Roy, we just got a new craft brewery in our town and it's very well received. People like the flavors and the novelty of it all.

Early this morning, I took a tumble out in my yard.  I ended up with a bloody nose, a scraped knee, and now I am pretty sore all over.  To add insult to injury, I had to attend a funeral today.  Luckily, it wasn't my own.  It's been an eventful week.  I could use one of those ales, to finish this week off!

Myrl, to hear you're OK is a good thing and that the funeral was in your own was some funny dark humor! :) Myrl Jeffcoat

I think any beer would taste good at a bar named that. On a beer note I tend to like Indian Pale Ales.

We lost our internet connection for almost a full day after a Monday afternoon storm. So, I am a bit behind.
