Dryer than standard Imperial Stout, loading astringent cocoa-powdered chocolate malting above rye-toasted hop char. Tar-like molasses bittering thickens, infringing upon latent coffee roast and gooey anise tease.
SPIDER BITE EYE BE USE
On tap at Shoreline Beverage, sunny lemon-peeled grapefruit rind bittering enhances pine-needled green hop char and withered juniper berry astringency. Surging pineapple, peach and pear sweetness brightens delicate floral bouquet while soft-watered minerality keeps the hop IBU’s in check so lighter palates could appreciate its sharp piney citrus styling as well.
ROCKAWAY BLACK GOLD STOUT
On tap at Jimmy’s No. 43, dark toffee aromatics inform cocoa-powdered Baker’s chocolate entry and heavily smoked black chocolate bittering. Sweet n’ sour hop-oiled nuttiness fills the backend.
PORT JEFF DEAD RYE’S RYES-N-BOK
Chameleonic German-styled hybrid develops protrusely over time, crossing Maibock sour fruiting with rye-dried Roggenbier tendencies and melanoidin Weizenbock sugaring. Chewy caraway-seeded rye graining and wispy fennel powdering provide fine base. Pineapple-glazed ham sweetness picks up mellow cotton-candied banana-clove-cardamom spicing to secure affable Bavarian wheat beer stamina. Fig-dried pucker deepens oncoming saison-like citric souring.
PORT JEFF SCHOONER PALE ALE
Easygoing sessionable moderation, based on an ancient English pale ale (and given an Americanized Citra hop zest), relies on crisp crystal malt-sugared floral hop spicing. Lemony yellow grapefruit, apple, peach and pear illusions stay soft above grassy vegetal easement.
LONG IRELAND BLACK FRIDAY IMPERIAL STOUT
Abstruse dark ale brings unexpected compost-wafted rauchbier-like cedar burn to dry cocoa-powdered Baker’s chocolate provocation. Smoky wet-wooded campfire setting outdoes dirty-grained astringency, tar-like raw molasses bittering, fig souring and anise seeding, disrupting stylistic mocha influence.
LONG IRELAND CELTIC ALE
Brewer’s initial offering re-creates traditional Irish red ale with peated whiskey easement leading to honeyed tea resonance. Nominal cardboard-like sugar glass sweetness contrasts dry Scotch malts, calm hop astringency and light citric tease.
LONG IRELAND PALE ALE
Feisty copper-glazed pale ale, nearly as rich as its viscous hue, indirectly approximates an Irish ale with dewy peat malts spread across light pumpernickel rye breading and resinous piney hops. Fig-dried grape souring and dessicated grapefruit bittering coat the earthen bottom.
LONG IRELAND WET-HOPPED PALE ALE
Lighter, less complex and more approachable than brewers’ Pale Ale. Mild green hop bittering politely embitters nebulous citric splash to frail white breaded backdrop. Fresh-cut grass waft seeps into delicate floral background.
ROCKY POINT WINTER ESB
On tap at Shoreline Beverage, well-integrated Long Island nanobrewery’s curious hybrid will please its cold-weathered Anglo base. Dirty earthen peat graining provides Extra Special Bitter coating for wintry cinnamon-gingerbread spicing. Fig-sugared chocolate and cocoa malting underscores nickel-coppered medium body. Vegetal tinge hidden beneath.
SPEAKEASY BLACK & WHITE COOKIE
On tap at Shoreline Beverage, robust mocha dessert beer recalls chocolate chip cookie or Sugar Daddy candy bar on the sweet side. Black chocolate-malted cacao nibs influence enhanced by vanilla bean, molasses, toffee and jellybean illusions. Ashen hop astringency and tobacco chaw acridity embitter wavered smoked bourbon recess to milked coffee backend.
SPEAKEASY BARREL-AGED SCARFACE IMPERIAL STOUT
Voluminous bourbon-barreled Imperial Stout (circa 2013) gains warmth for soothing nightcap. Smoked bourbon saturates black coffee overtones and dark-roasted chocolate malting. Candied Jack Daniels whiskey sweetness picks up steam thereafter as lovely espresso, molasses, vanilla, anise and gingerbread undertones contrast hop-charred wood burn.
