Sound Brewery Poundage Porter


Greetings on this Easter Eve.  I will be a bit busy tomorrow chasing around the Easter Bunny, so I thought I would uncap another beer that made is back from my recent rip to Washington State.  This beer I picked up at the Laht Neppur Alehouse, as they had many Washington State beers on the retail side of the Alehouse.

This beer is dark brown with a small head of caramel.  The nose picks up some cocoa and coffee.  Ah yes, this one drinks really smooth with the chocolate hitting you right away and then some coffee and plum as it slides down.  Very nice Porter.  not the best I've had, but very solid.  I'll be happy to work my way through the bottle as it is only 5.9% alcohol.

Earlier today, I was out record shopping and the clerk at Delta Breeze records alerted me to the latest Sactown magazine (the local / regional magazine).  Seems that there is a Tower Records Documentary in the works called All Things Must Pass.  Nice article on the store (the original location became a sort of second home for me and I spent a ton of money there) and the magazine also includes an article that runs down the local rekkid stores - including my favorites Phono Select and Delta Breeze.  Have a great Bunny Day.

2010 Tre Nova Ripasso


Uncorked a bottle from the Tre Nova Brand - a 2010 Ripasso Red.  Brought this back with me from my recent trip to Walla Walla, Washington.  Tasted through some of the reds on offer at the tasting room in downtown Walla Walla and this one struck me as wonderfully intense and the story behind the making of the wine is just as intense.

This wine is made in the traditional Venetian style of Ripasso, where the freshly fermented wine is passed back through the dried lees and skins to give it a bit more body.  The winemaker tells us that the 2010 vintage lees developed some Botrytis, which yielded a bit more glycerin in the finished wine.  This leads to a great mouth feel and I have to agree - smooth smooth smooth.  In the nose, I'm getting a bit of chocolate and the taste is a fine mix of dried and fresh red fruit.  Creamy finish - this should go great with the Tiramisu we have planned for dessert and the BBQ short ribs that will be hitting the grill soon,

Cheers,
Jerry

Laht Neppur Piper Canyon Scotch Ale



It's a wonderful Spring Day out here on the Left Coast - hitting about 71 with a couple of rain clouds passing through - love this time of year.  I've cracked open a Scotch Ale that I spirited back in my checked bags on my trip to Walla Walla Washington a few weeks back.  Survived the trip, but it won't survive the afternoon as I've got a beef brisket slowly cooking away to accompany it.

The Scotch Ale is from the Laht Neppur brewery of Waitsburg Washington.  I picked it up at the Alehouse run by the Brewery located just around the corner from my hotel room and just a few doors down from the Charles Smith Winery tasting room I spoke of last week.  Had a taste of the beer at the Alehouse and decided to bring home a 20 ouncer to enjoy later - meaning this afternoon.

Laht Neppur is Gaelic for Drink To Life and the beers at the brewery run the gamut of styles, from the Scotch Ale that I have opened to a wonderful Peach Hefeweizen with a Stout, IPA, Nut Brown and Cram Ale in between.  They have a selection on tap at the Alehouse and have a selection bottled as well.  I don't believe the bottles have been distributed down in California or in other states, but will keep an eye open for them, as I did enjoy the tasters that I had at the Alehouse.

The color is of a dark burnt brown sugar with a nutty rock candy nose.  The flavor pops right on to the tongue with nuts, brown bread and that rock candy flavor.  Warning - this one goes down smooth!

Cheers,
Jerry
