No 81 - Ommegang Three Philosophers (USA)

This almost perfect beer opens with a deep, very own scent of coca-cola, sweet and sour cherries, muscovado sugar and dark fudge. Almost bottomless deep and hauntingly beautiful. Layers upon layers of sweet dark fruit. Just stunning!

The taste follows up the nose with gorgeous complexity and notes of dark, dried fruits, chocolate covered cherries and that interesting coca-cola note! The length could be counted in minutes. The 9,8% alcohol doesn´t show itself in any shape or form. Very intense. This is really flirting with perfection!
