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.

Acheté à Lombard au état-unis dans l’état de l’illinois au famous wine and spirits. Bouteille de 750ml millésimé 2008 et déguste dans un verre trappiste de westmalle avec Glandine. Apparence brune rubis au reflet orangé avec une mousse moyenne brunâtre très collante sur les parois et un faible dépôt de levure en suspension. Arômes de sucre à la crême, cerise, caramel, fraise, prune, mûre et fûmé de bois et une trace de canelle. Un goût de cerise, miel, mûres, fruits des champs et caramel avec une touche de pelure de pomme et de poire. Au palais, un équilibre entre le sucré et l’amertume. Le goût reste longtemps avec un début crémeux et réchauffant suivant par la suite à une amertume sec en explosion et velouté en même temps. Une bière balancé et pleine de surprise portant à mes lèvres une plénitude orgasmique.

Very dark, and heavy content...but surprisingly smooth. Not overpowered by the cherry side...worth the try if you like dark and complex beer.

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.

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.
