The October issue of Men’s Journal – I know, but Viggo Mortensen was on the cover – chose the top 25 American beers. Taking the top spot for best dark beer was none other than Three Philosophers, from Cooperstown’s Ommegang Brewery, described as:

“a blend of two classic Belgian styles, strong dark ale and cherry lambic, this beer perfectly combines dark warming goodness and hints of chocolate, cherry and coffee, making it the best night-hued ale on Earth.”

I think they liked it.
