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.

Ruby brown with a small and lasting off-white head. The aroma is bubblegum, winegum and spicy - classic quad. Malty flavour with a hint of licorice, and some sherry. Vineous and dry malty finish.

75cl bottle @ HJHansen, Odense. Pours cloudy amber with a reddish hew and a small creamy white head. Nose is sweet of yeast, winegums, alcohol, caramel and fruit. Sweet and vinous with some port notes. Warming alcohol. A sipper. Nice!

12 oz bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. Pours a nice rich amber/copper/brown color with a little head. Aroma is sugary and some cherry notes. Taste is similar and every drop was drinkable. Wow, a nice beer and the alcohol seemed to be well hidden with this one.

Poured a pale head on top of a tan/cherry body. Aroma was of alcohol masked by caramel. The palate finished with a yeast and touch of cherry which left one with a clean fealing.

Aroma of brown sugar and alcohol.... Caramel in color... Brown sugar and sweet malts dominate the flavor initially but the distinct flavor of cherries predominate towards the finish... Tartness of the cherries linger on the palate long after the last swallow... Very nicely done by ommegang...

Cherry, dark brown. Lots of alcohol. A rating that should have been done awhile ago.
