Give me a dark beer, give me a legend, give me a twist off that kick most Colorado brews in the face; give me Trois Pistols.

Trois is a Belgium style strong dark ale that comes from Unibrouse in Quebec, Canada. The beer is steeped in the legend of the black horse which helped build the church Notre-Dame-des-Neiges.

The beer is as strong as the horse was sitting at a gracious 9% ALC and feels like a meal in a bottle.

If the art on the bottle isn’t enough to sell you on the beer, the heavy almost wine-like taste should.

From the first sip this beer tells your palate that is the real deal. Creamy and smooth, with the underlying dark and heavy taste, that leaves your surprisingly refreshed.

This is a far cry from the blandness for fries and mayo, a Quebec standard; the taste lingers long after but doesn’t leave that cottony or overly powerful taste in your mouth.

And the twist off!! Good riddance to the beer snobs of Boulder and Fort Collins. If you want a drink of which a four pack is enough go with Trois, this is one of the best non-bomber beers I have had in a while.

So let’s recap

• Cool art
• Strong beer
• Canadian
• Tasty
• Not over powering
