This installments of fine ales and beers has been brought to you by the number 3...
The Cherry-Licious 3 philosophers by Ommegang Brewery, Belgium
This odd little number is a blend of rich malty ale brewed with cherry lambic liquor, making it sweet and palatable, but perhaps a bit much for someone not looking to have dessert with their beverage....reminded me of a cherry cordial
This ale is refered to as a Quadrupel which signifies something extraordinary, even by Belgian brewing standards. They are usually strong, malty, and, like a fine wine, pack in flavors so dense and complex that they mature with cellar aging.
Definitely needs to be shared almost like an after dinner drink I believe....still tasty:
I'd give it a 3.5 outta 5 worth a try for something new...
Next up on our triad Trois Pistoles
This strong dark ale is brewed refermented in the bottle. Taste was awesome, sweet fruity almost a port, but crisp however needs to be chilled and poured in a wide mouth glass which I did not have for this pic regretably. Head is tall by loose, not creamy like a guiness but still a fine treat.
At 9% alchohol and a shelf life of 8 years, this may be one worth tucking afew away in the larder.
I'd rate it a 4.5 outta 5 worth a definite purchase.
The last leg of this triangle is from the Victory Brewing Company:
Damn fine Belgian style golden ale mixed with spices and pungent fruit essense, this beer pours golden, but is near impossible to see through. Great taste suprised me, as I was uncertain of its murky texture, but a fine brew. Might be hard to find, but worth the adventure...
I'd rate it a : 4 outta 5 definitely worth hitting one up :)
Well as the holiday rolls near....A few more brews approach as well and this time I'll take a journey with two gnomes and have a little bah humbug spirits :) Cheers and have a great holiday season!
