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.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
