Jun 23, 2009 A soft brown body pours out into a Chimay goblet; off-white, gently settling head--storng head that holds sway...fragrant, ester-laden bouquet strikes immediately--the lambic quality plays nicely in the crisp Hallertauer hops--malts are balanced well enough to hint at something amber...light, soft flitter on the lips and teeth; smooth enough to sneak through to the throat without much fanfare...definite acidic grape presence...hops keep the taste tartthe 9.8 % alcohol is present, yet overall accomplishes a mellow, malty finish; almost no aftertaste--this beer excels in its self-control... a wonderful Easter ends with this Quadrupel, amd a great end at that--with the bold passion of a merlot, Three Philosophers displays body and taste sophisticated enough... the Ommegang guys miss little, and this beer could keep me philosophical with a rather clear buzz as the bottle drains...

Jun 19, 2009 Pours brown with thin off white head. Aroma of raisins and cherries. Taste of dark fruits, yeast, and slight spicy flavor. Some notes of caramel in the finish.

Jun 18, 2009 Lately this seems to have gotten a bit sweeter. Less tart cherry aspect more malt sweetness. Still a very nice beer and ages for a few years. Also was fortunate enough to try batch 1 recently. Supposedly with no Kriek added but still had a slight sour thing going on. Maybe it is age.

Jun 12, 2009 Bottle. This a tasty brew, but a little too much of the kriek character for me to rank it amongst my favourite quads. Pours deep ruby red with beige head. Nose big on cherries. Flavour has more cheery, spices, and caramel.

Jun 8, 2009 Bottle. This quad is full of fruit flavor and you can feel the alcohol presence but not too much.

Jun 1, 2009 Rich and full of malt. Black cherries, concord grape, a hint of alcohol, but not too much. Good looking beer - dark with good carbonation and nice lacing.
