Brewdogs Punk IPA

Clear but cold day out here on the left coast. Hibernating in the Pinhead Studios playing some Palooka. Cracked open a beer that I recently found down at my local Trader Joes. The Scottish origin intrigued me but it wasn't till I got it home that I realized that it is from the Brewdog folks - the same guys who are in that Brewdogs TV show. I've seen quite a few of the episodes and enjoyed it quite a bit - especially the San Francisco show (where they captured fog and used it for the H20 in the beer) and the Portland episode (where they brewed beer going down the Mighty Columbia).

What a surprise when I poured out the beer and was greeted with a wave of tropical goodness. The nose on this beer just hits you right in the, uh, Nose. A very clear and light shade of amber, this one smells like a West Coast IPA, but looks like a Pilsner. The taste is just as tropical with a very nice malt finish that begs you to have another taste. Juicy, Juicy, Juicy - did I mention that it was Juicy?

Distant Cellars Ten 88 Red Blend Port

A wonderful fall day - temps in the 70's and lotsa sun. I've opted for a small bottle of Port this Sunday. Small, as in this Distant Cellars Ten 88 375ml bottle. Port as in a red blend of Old Vine Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Pinotage fortified with grape spirits in the style of Old World Ports.

I was very happy to find this bottle down at my local Trader Joes as the Distant Cellars website tells me that the wine is sold out - they must have sold a bit to TJ's.

This one pours an inky purple and has some very nice red fruit and spice notes on the nose. The taste is wonderful with blackberry, plum and vanilla. At 18.4% the warming of the mouth and throat is wonderful. Nice smooth finish - this should go well with the Dark Chocolate dipped strawberries that my daughter has prepared for dessert. Cheers!

Ninkasi Sleigh'r Dark Doüble Alt Ale

Well, a wet Halloween didn't dampen any Spirits around here - in fact I'm ready for Christmas already as Ninkasi just released their Seasonal ale - the Sleigh'r Dark Doüble Alt Ale. Grabbed a six pack at my local market and have been working my way through them. Nice dark color and a small but stout head, this one has some wonderful malt flavors. Not very much hop bitterness, so the chocolate and toasted almonds flavors predominate. Despite the Christmas theme, this is not one of those flavored beers, just a wonderful Alt (an Ale that is cold fermented).
