Ommegang Three Philosophers (2009 vintage) | Chad'z Beer Reviews #615

[DenisLD]

It's really nice to see Henry again!

Nice review, I'd like to try this beer in these bigger bottles someday. Cheers!

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@DenisLD yeah it seems like bottle conditioned beers taste better in 750ml bottles instead of 330ml or 355ml

i don't like this beer, but i have only had it fresh, and i'm not a huge fan of belgiums to begin with, so it maks sence why i wouldn't like it. i wonder if iactually reviewed it, could i seperate myself from personal like to the quaity of the bee... most times i can, but sometimes my personal dislike comes out. and whats with name calling.

[StumpyJoeJr]

Great to see Henry back! 9/10 sounds about right for this beer. Definitely a unique take on a quad and it really works.

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@StumpyJoeJr can you get this out there? Definitely worth a review.

[StumpyJoeJr]

@ChadzBeerReviews Yep, we can get all the Ommegang beers here. I think I've only reviewed Zuur so far.

[jhreginaldi1]

Damn dude. Callin my names in YouTube comments section? Can you take a joke?

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@jhreginaldi1 about as much as you can, apparently, lol

[jhreginaldi1]

You ripped off the final thoughts and grade from Jay! Good review.

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@jhreginaldi1 where do you think Jay got it from? Watch season 1 or 2 of this show - I was doing it back in 2008, bitch.

[CheeseBlackOps]

YES HENRY IS BACK!!! He definately made your show a lot better

[patrickboegel]

Pretty astute call on the vinegar, there is definitely a sharpness in the nose of this beer, fresh and aged, and while vinegar often is associate with off flavors and aromas this a bit different. I do always seem to find that no matter the age on 3 Philos, the next day is a guaranteed hang-over effect. The addition of Liefmans Kriek gives just enough cherry and funk to change the beer as it ages as well. Might crack open a 2008 soon to see how it is.

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@patrickboegel Probably really smooth I bet!

[geoffolehane]

I had the 2009 Vintage in 2009. I'd like to try it now in 2012.

[bunkernate]

I love the way Henry describes things "dancing wood nymph" lol. I really like this beer fresh, sounds like ill have to pick one up and age it if I can't find one already done for me...

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@bunkernate he never ceases to surprise me with his unusual descriptions and analogies. LOL

[elharlock]

Great to see Henry back for a review. Sounds like you picked a perfect beer to review for his return.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

Henry is back!!!! Been a while, hope he is doing well. Sounds really good, and I can get this (I believe its a 2010 vintage)! I think I will pick up a bottle. Great review guys, cheers!

[wisehybred]

Its super good!! This is better fresh though for sure!

[ChadzBeerReviews]

@wisehybred no way! Extremely bubbly and peppery fresh. Vintage really smooths it out.

[tccompaq]

Henry back in the house

[drastmannen]

Nice review Chad! I have a 2009 bottle in the fridge that I've been waiting to open. Perheps this weekend I will! Sounds like a supernice beer.

Keep up the good work!
