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.

Three Philosophers is my personal favorite of what I’ve had from Ommegang. It pours a deep brown/red. Hints of chocolate and cherries. No taste of the alcohol. Very good on a cold winter night.

A very strong beer with a lovely hint of cherry. Discovered it by accident, definitely glad to have tried it.

I simply love this beer, from the frothy head to the deep ruby color to the complex flavors. I’ve got a 750 ml bottle laid down in my cellar and will see what it’s like a few years.

Bottle pours a dark reddish copper color with a thin head. Aroma of dried fruit, yeast and alcohol. Very nice flavor! Slightly sweet, some malt, and more dried fruits, mostly black cherries. Smooth and drinkable. The 9.8% is well hidden aside from the aroma.

1/5/08 notes: 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with ruby red. Definitely dark fruit in the nose. Medium carbonation, syrupy, velvety mouthfeel. Slightly bitter body with citrus hints and nice cherry liquor finish. Coats tongue in wonderful mixture of hoppy bitterness, caramel malts and cherry sweets. Definitely a quality offering.

Bottle. A really luscious beer that is surprisingly good. MuttyD nailed the description on this one! I have seen this beer on the shelves so many times but for some reason have never tried it until now. It is now my favorite brew from Ommegang.

Pours dark caramel with nice foamy head. Smells almost like a grape vine i.e. really vinous. But so promising. It goes down quite smooth and dry tasting like raisins. Pretty good beer.
