Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Trois Pistoles

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Warmer than most — 12–14°C. The fruity esters, spice and warming alcohol need room to breathe.

Goblet
Recommended for this style

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
