Modern Times Black House
Oatmeal Stout - 5.8% ABV Pete This was a fine stout. Dark, not super rich, a little bit of coffee but not a ton. Reasonably priced at least, which can be a problem with stouts. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Black House Nitro w/Coffee, Coconut, & Cocoa
Oatmeal Stout - 5.8% ABV Pete Surprisingly not super rich and creamy like I'd expect from an oatmeal stout. That said, it's quite delicious. I definitely taste coffee but mostly chocolate. Smell coconut, but don't really taste it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Blazing World
Red IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete I've said this before, I like the combination of the malty sweetness of the red and the hoppiness of an IPA. Not a huge fan of reds in general, but this combo works. Nice. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Booming Rollers
IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Pretty solid IPA. Fairly bitter, definitely taste mango as well, nicely balanced beer. Only problem is it costs more than most others of its style. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Critical Band
IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete Great piney IPA with a hint of citrus. Tons of flavor. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Devil's Teeth (Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Barrel-Aged Coffee)
Old Ale - 11% ABV Pete This is incredible. It's stout-y. I haven't had the original (yet), but this has so much going on. Vanilla and coffee dominate the flavor, but there's also some nice toffee flavor in there. The only reason this isn't a 7 is because it literally cost twice as much the rest of the beers on the menu. Still, I'd rather have this than 2 of most other things. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Elemental Magic: Mexican and Brazilian Guava
Sour Saison - 6.6% ABV Pete This beer ran me $15 at the bar (most were around $9-$11), but it was worth it. Relatively mild sour with tons of tropical fruit flavor (obviously from the guava, but I wouldn't be able to pinpoint that if I didn't already know). If this wasn't $15, it'd probably be a 7. Still, I'd rather have one of these than 2 of most a lot of other beers. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Modern Times Elemental Magic: Raspberries & Blackberries
Sour Saison - 5.5% ABV Pete This tastes like mildly sour lightly carbonated grape juice at first, but maybe that's just because it looks like that and the raspberry gives you the sourness. Either way, I'd get it again. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Modern Times Fruitlands (Passion Fruit & Guava)
Gose - 4.8% ABV Pete Really good, easy to drink gose. A touch fruity, a touch sour, a touch salty, good balance. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Modern Times Fruitlands (Peach & Raspberry)
Gose - 5% ABV Pete Medium tartness with a touch of fruit. The raspberries are definitely a dominant fruit flavor here, and I love raspberries, so this is a winner for me. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Modern Times Hollow Mountain
Flanders Oud Bruin - 8.2% ABV Pete Delicious beer. Medium to high tartness with a touch of funk and a tiny hint of maltiness. Very good but extremely expensive. I would rate it higher if not for that last part, but it's still high. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Modern Times Pescespada
Saison - 7.1% ABV Pete Collaboration with Almanac. I'm not a huge fan of this one. It's pretty funky, and I didn't get the tropical explosion that was described. Plus, it's super expensive. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Modern Times The Fruitening Part 2 w/Plum, Blueberry, Boysenberry, Black Currants & Zinfandel Grapes
Sour - 6.4% ABV Pete Served like wine, and reminds me of a dry rosé. Also a touch sour. Delightful. Pretty expensive, but worth it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
