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.

A hazy brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of nuts, prunes, alcohol, and wood. The flavor is dry woody with notes of prunes and plums before a very hoppy and malt dry end sets in. A wonderful flavor.

Bottled. Muddy dark brown. Cherry liqueur aroma. Intensely roasty with lively mouthfeel. Notes of berries and coffee - this is chocolate covered strawberries with champagne! Oaky bière de garde-like lively finish. A complex and very interesting beer.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a slightly hazy, reddish amber with a creamy, off-white head. Fairly complex aroma of yeast, overripe fruit and diacetyl. Full-bodied with fruity notes, sherry-like and again some diacetyl. Almost no bitterness. Interesting. 080107

White label 2003 edition. Bright golden brown; aroma of plum, candy and banana. Slightly astringent notes in the body. Chewy. Alcoholic. Slight yeast note, with a bitter ashy note in the finish. Alcohol is too dominant.

Original, burgundy label edition: Orangey-burgundy colour. Deep sense of plum, blood orange, deep caramel, stale wood, cherries. Some tartness comes into the mix mid-palate. Overall, though, it's quite sweet, slightly candyish even. Warming, slightly spicy finish.

Bottle. Ruby colour with a big beige head. Fruity, light cherries aroma and taste, sweet. Medium body with a light dry, sweet light alcoholic finish.
