Ommegang Three Philosophers

Ommegang Three Philosophers is a blend of 98% Ommegang Belgian-Style Quadrupel and 2% Liefmans Kriek.

The beer has a reddish brown color, with a big bubbly head. This is an outstanding smelling Quad, getting figs, dark caramel, hints of cherries and alcohol. The taste really does follow along quite well. The figgy dark fruits are the backbone of this beer, add to that a splash of tart cherry on the finish and a whole lot of alcohol taste. The carbonation on this is bright and almost effervescent, which creates a great mouth-feel for this particular Quad.

Another in the growing list of beer I have to remember I really like, I have got to pick this up more often!
