Rum Barrel-Aged Monsters' Park Release
Modern Times Beer is stoked out of our frickin' gourds to announce the release of a gnarly new barrel-aged beer. Monsters' Park--our hulking, cantankerous 13% ABV imperial stout--was aged in Nicaraguan & Caribbean rum barrels for 6 months. Three variants were also created: Caribbean Rum w/ Vanilla Beans, Nicaraguan Rum w/ Coconut & Cocoa Nibs, Nicaraguan Rum w/ Rum Barrel-Aged Coffee.
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN NICARAGUAN RUM BARRELS
Black as oil and thick as blood. A vigorous pour produces a two finger, deep brown head. The mouthfeel is very full, with healthy carbonation. The aroma pops big time: major notes of molasses, oak, chocolate, and brown sugar waft out of the glass. The flavor is very powerful but exceptionally smooth, with dark rum & milk chocolate leading the charge, followed by vanilla-y oak, caramel, dark chocolate, and molasses. The finish lingers for days, with sweet malt and rich rum dominating. Extraordinarily smooth and rich for a 13% ABV beer. The roasty intensity of Monsters' Park is a beautiful match for the sweetness of dark rum. Bottles available: 140 (one barrel didn't pass QC which is why the number is so low). Price: $28+tax & BPT fee. Bottle limit: 1
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN CARIBBEAN RUM BARRELS
Same appearance & mouthfeel as the Nicaraguan version, but the Caribbean rum brings a much different character to the beer. Where the dark Nicaraguan rum is all about molasses & chocolate, the Caribbean rum is fruit-forward, complex, & spirit-heavy. The aroma sings with oak & tropical rum, with a roasted, chocolatey note behind it. The flavor starts with the fruit-heavy rum character, followed by vanilla-y oak, chocolate milk, and toast. The rum returns in the finish, coating the tongue with bright spirit notes, before transitioning to a rich caramel & chocolate character. A very unique & delicious beer. Bottles available: 800. Price: $28+tax & BPT fee. Bottle limit: 2
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN CARIBBEAN RUM BARRELS W/ VANILLA BEANS
We used vanilla beans from Madagascar, Tonga, and Tahiti to produce this stunner of a beer. The aroma pops with vanilla, oak, and chocolate. The flavor is loaded with vanilla--both from the floral end of the vanilla spectrum and the "vanilla ice cream" end--tiramisu, and dark chocolate. The finish is very rich; the vanilla makes the whole thing substantially more dessert-like. Exceptionally decadent. Bottles available: 750. Price: $30+tax & BPT fee. Bottle limit: 2
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN NICARAGUAN RUM BARRELS W/ COCONUT & COCOA NIBS
This beer is not subtle. It pours pitch black with a menacingly dark head that dissipates very quickly due to the fat from the coconut. The flavor and aroma are completely saturated with coconut & chocolate, but blend harmoniously with the strong dark rum & roast malt notes. This beer is explosively flavorful and completely coats the palate with coconut, milk chocolate, toasted bread, dark honey, and roast malt. Truly amazing. Bottles available: 800. Price: $30+tax & BPT fee. Bottle limit: 2
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN NICARAGUAN RUM BARRELS W/ RUM BARREL-AGED COFFEE
Truly one of the most unique and exciting beers we've made. For those of you who tried City of the Dead, this takes that experience to 11. Barrel-aged coffee aroma positively leaps out of the glass, combining with the molasses-y Nicaraguan rum character and dark roasted malt from Monsters' Park to produce one of the most complex aromas we've encountered. The flavor explodes on the palate: toasted marshmallows, milk chocolate, bright coffee, oak, and brown sugar-soaked rum. Incredibly flavorful. The barrel-aged coffee lingers for days, mixed with a big barrel character and loads of milk chocolate. A remarkable beer. Bottles available: 625. Price: $30+tax & BPT fee. Bottle limit: 2
