Sep 16, 2009 Great color and aroma from 22 oz bottle. Pours nice foam and good veil. Flavoring is OK but alcohol taste is overpowering with faint charcoal, coffee and caramel undertones. Would like to try it from the tap
next. Prefer Abbey Ale to this.

Sep 13, 2009 I’m happy to have this one as my 200th rating since it’s one of the beers that opened my eyes to great beer. 2008 vintage. 22 oz. bottle from Keller’s IGA, shared. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a fairly small off-white head that didn’t leave much behind or last long. Aroma is alcohol, cherry, caramel, roast malt, and dried fruit. Alcohol leads the flavor, also cherry, roast malt, dried fruit, caramel sweetness. Complex and really satisfying and fun to drink. Could use a little more balance since the alcohol sticks out a lot, and I might take the advice of MmmcKay and let it age a little longer to make it two full years next time. Excellent overall.

Sep 10, 2009 Bomber. Big tan head, dark brown to orange non transparent appearance. Cherry alcohol dominate the aroma, with faint malty sweetness. Bursting alcoholic floral taste, balanced with a long finish that complements the alcohol nicely.

Sep 6, 2009 Upon surfing the local liquor store isles for a new beer, a friend of mine stumbled across Three Philosophers. With such a fantastic name and exquisite bottling, I had to get it. I drank this beer at only slightly below room temperature due to time restrictions. First to note is its fine aroma, with a sweet and fruity smell. Its taste was strong and satisfying - like nothing I have ever had before. As my first lambic, I was blind going in. I was very much impressed by the powerful flavor and cherry after taste.

Sep 4, 2009 Aroma of fruits, big, slightly roasty malt, caramel, cherries especially. Rather rich malty flavor with chocolate, cherry and dark fruits. Rich and tasty though not up there with the classic Belgian abts. Very nice anyhow.
