Ommegang Three Philosophers

Esta me gusto. Un poco de fruta pero seria, no como las lambic q empalagan. Vale la pena creo q bebere

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.

Chestnut color, creamy frothy head. Brown sugar and dark fruit nose. Roasted malt, dark fruit, oak, nutty and molasses flavor. Smooth finish. Highly recommend this one. One of my favorites to date.

Dark brown/red with off-white head. Scent was dominated by cherry and mild roast, and flavor followed, hints of roast being overpowered by excessive sweet fruit, like synthetic cherry. There were slight metallic hints. The palate was all-star, but that’s about it. Given the rating and hype, my experience was an unsatisfying one.

75 cl corked bottle:
Pours reddish brown with medium head. Sweet marshmallow aroma with notes of cherry stones and oak. Dry oaky flavour with notes of cherries and alcohol; taste a bit like port. Drinkable but not outstanding.
