Black IPA
A dark IPA that marries the hoppiness of IPAs with the roasted smokeyness of a black ale.
Breeches ESB (will be on The J.Clyde Bier Engine)
ESBs are essentially more aggressive and more balanced Bitters, both in alcohol and hop character, but nothing overpowering. Color range will be similar, though leaning towards the darker end of the scale; dark golds to copper. Low carbonation. Malts tend to be more pronounced, often toasty and fruity, with maybe some notes diacetyl. And despite "bitter" being in its name, ESBs are not really all that bitter.
Corduroy Rye IPA
The brewer's website describes this beer as being 7% and 70 IBUs and hopped with Magnum, Centennial, and Cascade, with a Centennial dry-hopping as well. Pours a nice amber with a glow amnd a fairly short head. Definite rye note in the nose, with a light spicy crispness, but not so much rye that you get those dark chocolate flavors. Nice herbal and earthy hop profile with some definite pine in the mix and a bit less citrus peel. Very smooth in the mouth, with a hop mix that creeps up on you and becomes bitter in the end with a nice spicy note as well.
Knickerbocker Red
It poured a cloudy brown. Nice cream colored head with moderate lacing. The smell was dominated by malts. Nice mouthfeel with a combination of sweet malts with a very slight hoppy finish.
Oaked Pinstripe Stout
The Pinstripe that has aged in an oak cask.
Pinstripe Stout
This beer is opaquely dark with a coffee and burnt malt taste. Smooth and not as heavy as a Guinness with a slightly bitter after taste. A taste that grows on you and gets better with each sip. Outstanding aroma that makes you want to sniff as you drink.
