Commercial Description:
Three Philosophers is a remarkable limited edition strong ale brewed by Brewery Ommegang in response to a home brewer’s description of his dream beer. Realbeer.com, the internet’s largest beer website, hosted a contest called “Create a Great Beer.” Brewery Ommegang was chosen by Realbeer.com to brew the Belgian-style ale for the winning essayist. Noel Blake, a home brewer from Portland wrote the winning description for what his “dream beer” would be like.

Rich and full of malt. Black cherries, concord grape, a hint of alcohol, but not too much. Good looking beer - dark with good carbonation and nice lacing.

Bottle @ København Ølfestival 2009. The aroma has apple, grass, raisin, cherries and caramel malts. Hazy, red-brown coloured beer with an off-white, thin head. The taste is sweet, slightly alcoholic, has some sugar and some grass. Well brewed.

On tap at the Muddy Pig. Pours brown with a decent beige head. Sweet cherry, caramel malts, spicy yeast. Tastes a little weaker than it smells.

Pours a ruby deep brown. Nose is a melody of dark fruits, belgian yeasts, plum, raisin, candy sugars, earthy hops. Flavor is much of the same. Sweet malt flavors mixed with rich fruits. Dry finish. Lovely beer.

Rating # 16 from the danish beer festival 2009. The closest ive seen to a classic belgian beer from a foreign brewer. Powerfull fruity/yeasty aroma of raisin and plum with sweet dark suger notes along with berries and some spices. Powerfull sweet and alchoholic flavor in a fine balance.

Bomber- poured a crisp amber red with decent sized off white head. Slight malts, yeast and cherry on the nose. Palate blends with a fizzy malt cherry Lambic style, light and flavorful with some spice but not as sour as anticipated. A well blended drinker and probably a better attempt for me to enjoy a muddled Lambic style. Sorry about the yeast afire!
