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.

750 ml bottle. Hazy orange/reddish body with a small beige head. Aroma like sweet syrup and yeast. Flavor is also rather sweet, with fruity cherry notes and a bit dry fruit. Alcohol and candy finish. Interesting but not exactly where it should be.

750ml. Pour is dark brown which turns to medium brown under heavy light. Big brown head that dissipates leaving lacing on the glass. Nose is cherries, sugars, and hops. Nicely bubbled brew which stings and tingles the tongue.

12oz bottle. Pours brown/red with a moderate sized off-white head. Good retention, some lace. Smells of cherry syrup and some malt. Tastes sickly cherry sweet and malty. Medium body, crisp carbonation. I don’t like it.
