Three Philosophers from Brewery Ommegang

By Rick

Wow. (What a great three letter word. So short- but says so much.)

That 3 letter word is what you might say after you've sampled Brewery Ommegang's Three Philosophers. As their website says: it's "a luscious blend of malty ale and cherry lambic".

Brewery Ommegang produces a very unique variety of Belgian-style beers and Three Philosophers is certainly one of its most unique. This dark brew pours a thick head that exudes quality. Dark tastes- and smells- of coffee and chocolate enhance each other. Sip this one slowly: don't rush the exquisite mouthfeel. (You might want to drink sparingly too- with its 9%ABV!)

I would recommend enjoying this as a "reward.  Serve it with dessert or as an after-dinner drink. Obviously- the pairing with foods should be done with the same attention to detail as the Brewery Ommegang has done in producing this elixir!
Wow.

(Cheers!)
