Three Philosophers Quadrupel was aged nine months at Ommegang. It went into Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels in September 2009 and was bottled in May 2010. Only 200 bottles were created.

On tap at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. This appears to be a newer batch, the menu stated aged in Buffalo Trace Barrels for 6 months. The ABV is 12.3% in this batch.
This one pours a dark-ish brown color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.
This smells like cherry, tobacco, oak, caramel, light funk, and vanilla.
Three Philosophers is definitely a beer that takes to barrel aging pretty well. There's a soft vanilla and oak thing from the barrels, with cherry, a light dusty funkiness, some chocolate, caramel, and lots of dark fruit.
This is medium bodied, with not much booze to it, and a decent drinkability.
This is definitely enjoyable. Any of the BA Three Philosophers that I've tried tend to be Ommegang's best efforts at barrel aging.

I had this beer off the draft. The cherry aroma is instantaneous, hints of vanilla on the finish, great body, smooth, stout with a high ABV. I highly recommend this beer. It is an instant favorite.
