2011 Brewery Ommegang Three Philosophers Quadrupel

A beautiful Sunday afternoon out here on the left coast.  I've got a beer cracked open to go with a bit of Pinball.  The beer is not just any beer, it is a Belgian style Quadrupel brewed up by the kind folks over at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York.  This one comes in a 750ml bottle, is vintage dated and has a champagne style cork and a wire hood.  I decided to pour it into a nice large wine glass instead of a goblet (which is used for most Belgian Quads).  Light carbonation and a great reddish brown color greeted me upon the pour.  Getting my nose down into the glass was a treat - lotsa cherry and malt aromas.  Taking the first sip was heaven, leaving me wanting more.  This beer is very up front and hits you with a ton of flavors immediately as it enters your mouth.  The finish is very quiet, which some would think as a bad thing (no hop bite?  Shame on Ommegang!)  But I love it and it leads me to believe that the brewery got the balance just right on this 9.8% alcohol Quad.

Here's a bit of  Beer Advocate Wisdom regarding the Belgian Quad style:

Inspired by the Trappist brewers of Belgium, a Quadrupel is a Belgian style ale of great strength with bolder flavor compared to its Dubbel and Tripel sister styles. Typically a dark creation that ranges within the deep red, brown and garnet hues. Full bodied with a rich malty palate. Phenols are usually at a moderate level. Sweet with a low bitterness yet a well perceived alcohol.

Here's some info from the Ommegang site:

Three Philosophers is a unique blend of a Belgian-style strong dark ale and Liefmans Kriek, an authentic cherry ale from Belgium. Cherry chestnut in color, it's opaque but not cloudy with full carbonation topped by a smooth, tan head. Flavors and aromas of roasted malt, molasses and brown sugar, dark fruits, brandied raisins and chocolate, Three Philosophers has notable sweetness with low hop bitterness. The mid-palate shows a soft malt center which gives way to a dry, warm, wine-like finish.

The strength and complexity of this beer make it a good candidate for ageing gracefully, as spicy sherry and port notes should intensify.

The Pinball, you ask?  Well, I spent last weekend (plus a Monday off) working on the Pinhead studios and one of the games that was resurrected was Klondike, a 1971 game manufactured by Williams.  The main feature of this game is a slot machine style set of reels on the playfield that you can advance for different rewards (kinda like Vegas!)  Get three Wagons in a row, hit the center hole and receive three extra balls.

Here's a link to the game on the Internet Pinball Database for more info ---->  Klondike

Porto Morgado Tawny Port

It a warm Spring Sunday over here on the Left Coast, but I'm keeping cool indoors and enjoying a nice Tawny Port from Porto Morgado.  Back in April of last year, I tried the Porto Morgado Ruby Port and enjoyed that wine, so I picked up a bottle of the Tawny variety down at my local Trader Joes for about a fiver.  Nice mellow Port and well worth the modest investment.  I'll be back for this one.


Here's a bit of a lesson in the finer aspects of port from the old sage Wiki:


Tawny port

Tawny ports are wines, made from red grapes, that are aged in wooden barrels, exposing them to gradual oxidation and evaporation. As a result, they gradually mellow to a golden-brown colour. The exposure to oxygen imparts "nutty" flavours to the wine, which is blended to match the house style.

Ruby Port

Ruby port is the cheapest and most extensively produced type of port. After fermentation, it is stored in tanks made of concrete orstainless steel to prevent oxidative aging and preserve its rich claret color. The wine is usually blended to match the style of the brand to which it is to be sold. The wine is fined and cold filtered before bottling and does not generally improve with age

Cheers!
