New or notable, classic or quaffable, Mike is pouring a glass of it.
Beer: Three Philosophers Double Chocolate
Variety: Quadruple or Belgian dark strong ale
ABV: 9.7%
Brewer: Brewery Ommegang
Mike Sez: Belgian beers aren’t my favorite types of beers. But I’ve learned to appreciate and enjoy a Saison, which originated as a Belgian ale. Most Saisons have a hint of the fruity and/or spicy character of Belgian yeasts. I’ve occasionally sampled the ladder of Belgian styles including the strong ale or Quadruple. Three Philosophers, brewed by Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y., is a well-regarded Quad. Recently, it decided to do a chocolaty riff on it by adding cocoa nibs and vanilla to the recipe.
Conclusion: This isn’t the inky, rich chocolate stout you might be familiar with. The dark brown beer is less viscous and the aroma is more subtle with a spicy, caramel-y character. The spice carries over to the taste and you definitely get hints of the booze, as well as the sour cherry flavor from the Belgian Kriek, which goes into the standard Three Philosophers. This complements the dark chocolate notes for a spicy chocolate finish. This is a complex beer, which should age well, so if you buy a four-pack you can store a couple. Seems like it might be best for listening to jazz or prog rock.

FEATURED PLAYLIST: THE CLASH 1977-1978
|
|
It was 45 years ago, today.... April 8, 1977.
On that fateful day, a band from the London area of England released their self-titled debut album on the CBS label, CBS 82000 to be exact. It was the first salvo in a career that would soar to amazing highs, like with their third release, London Calling, in 1979.
In honor of that landmark day, how about a playlist featuring some memorable tracks from the quartet's first phase, 1977-1978? From "Career Opportunities" to "Capitol Radio," blast this playlist all weekend. And remember, punk? It's not dead.
