Three Philosophers: Review

Ommegang Brewery
Cooperstown, New York, USA


98% Ale; 2% Ale with Cherries added
Belgian-style Quad
9.7% abv
1pt 9.4oz bottle
$10.99 a bottle

I have not had this Ale since the old white label. From what I can remember is that I really liked this Quad.  They recommend ‘to not disturb the yeast sediment,’ when pouring.   

Appearance: brownish-copper color body with a two finger light tan head that leaves some sticky lacing; sheets of lacing with each sip that leaves spotty lacing on the glass


Aroma: rich sweet malts; dry dark fruits; touch of cherry; Belgian yeast

Flavors: follows the nose with the rich sweet malts; dark sweet fruits – sweetened raisins; touch of cherry to cut the sweetness; earthy yeast; hint of nuts – pecan meat and shell; nice alcohol spice – not boozy to me;



Mouthfeel: slight creamy feel; light syrupy feel; thick chewing brown bread; firm carbonation; sweet but not overbearing; light bitterness; nice complexity; moderate alcohol warmth; this is a sipper
