Three Philosophers is easily my favorite beer. I've yet to find something that tops it. Its just so damn expensive! But a high alcohol content without the burn, a rich coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate and a little spice afternote...wonderful stuff.

.

3 Philosophers is one of my top beers too.. however not sure what you are discribing here.. 3 Phils is a Cherry Wheat dark Belgian Ale. it is High gravity, (9.99%) but it isnt a Mocha or chocolate :)

I have so many beers that i like its hard to tell, but here goes a few

Dogfish 90min IPA, Hennipen, Franziskanner (all of them Dunkle is probably tops)

Highland Galic, London Porters Mocha stout, Spaten Optimater, Rare Vos, Duvel, eh im sure theres a few dozen more :) but thats enough for yall to try for now :)

It's not uncommon for Belgian Quads to have notes of coffee or chocolate from the malts they use. Actually, Ommegang lists both in their description of Three Philosophers.

Coffee or chocolate don't have to actually be present in a beer for you to taste it. Also, the beer doesn't contain wheat.

yes you are correct.. i was thinking about my other Ommegang favorite Hennipin (SP?) but its definately more Cherry then Chocolate or Coffee(Mocha).. its still a good beer.. but yes not a wheat.. but a Cherry Belgian

Hennepin is not only my favorite Ommegang beer, but my favorite saison as well. I think it's almost a perfect summer beer: refreshing, yet with so much more complexity than a standard wheat beer or light lager.

:cheers2:

I picked up a six pack of Somersault (seasonal) from New Belgium. Damn fine beer. For the Brooklyn Summer Ale lovers on here, I think that it's just as good.

I also got my hands on a growler of Capt. James Jack Pilsner from OMB. It's a very good beer, but Mecklenburger is still my favorite OMB beer.

Bought a six pack of Sisters of the Moon IPA from Mother Earth Brewing (Kinston NC). Excellent, try it if you see it. I'm looking foward to sampling their other beers.

I usually drink anything in front of me, but when I've got the cash to piss away, I stock up on New Castle or ST.PG. I really love imported beer of all brands. One day when I come close to retiring as a long-term alcoholic..I will dedicate my final days to green beer only.

If by green beer you mean beer in green bottles, it's actually a bad thing. Green bottles allow beer to be "lightstruck" by UV light, giving it a skunked flavor. This is why I stopped buying Yuengling so many years ago before I even started drinking craft beer.

Those green bottles are all marketing.

      Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      By Mr Mojo Risin · Posted

      I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
