Cynics can't believe it,
Epicures hail it a sensation, and Pythagoreans just can't add up what
makes this luscious blend of rich malty ale and cherry lambic so
delightful. It might be the flavor of dark chocolate and cherry
cordials; it could be the way it acquires wisdom and grace in the
cellar. Maybe it's a conundrum. What's your theory?
The essence of wonder is a unique and masterful blend of
strong malty ale and authentic Belgian Kriek. Our philosophers deduce
that this powerful marriage of cherries, roasted malts, and dark
chocolate will only achieve more wisdom and coherence as it broods in
the dark recesses of your cellar.
Try Three Philosophers as:
a delightful accompaniment for roasted meats, rich cheeses, desserts, and for after dinner sipping as with a fine port.
Reviews:
"A
rare international blend of dark and malty quadrupel from Ommegang, and
cherry-infused lambic from Lindemans in Belgium. It is a masterful
blend that is greater than the sum of its parts - a rich, ruby brew
that weaves a port-like subtle fruit into a creamy elixir of chocolaty
caramel effervescence."
-THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"An exciting new addition to the Ommegang lineup is Three Philosophers,
a blend of Belgian dark strong ale and Lindeman's Kriek (a classic
cherry lambic directly from Belgium). On the bottleneck, it says
“Strength in Union,” signaling the beer's portent and possibilities. It
produces a wine-like ruby fill in the goblet and a nose of malt, dark
fruits, vanilla and sweet cherries...But there's more - coffee,
currants, brandied raisins, chocolate and sour notes - all blending
nicely across the palate. Careful aging is this beer's friend, and I
think it will definitely make this example better still."
