Collab w/ Great Notion
We recently brewed an outrageously tasty new imperial stout that benefits a critically important cause. The project was helmed by the Modern Times African-American Employee Resource Group (ERG). Here is their statement regarding this most excellent adult beverage:
As we begin to look forward to a MUCH more prosperous year in 2021 vs its 2020 counterpart, all of us who make up the African American ERG here at Modern Times are excited to tell you about an important cause that Modern Times will be supporting in a significant way. As some of you may have heard, Great Notion brewed a beer aptly named Reparations recently. It was inspired by the Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout which numerous breweries (including Modern Times in collaboration with Alesmith) decided to brew themselves in show of support to further the messaging of inequalities that exist in America (and the world) presently, particularly impacting the African-American population. Similar in purpose, our Reparations seeks to bring awareness to as well as actively support an initiative exploring how a modern-day reparations package could help take the next step(s) in lifting the African-American community out of the cycle of economic oppression.”
As for the beer itself, Reparations is a decadent 11.5% ABV imperial stout featuring generous amounts of Ugandan vanilla, Rwandan coffee beans, and a delightful touch of ginger. All of the profits from this delectable concoction--our goal is $30,000--will be donated to NAARC (National African American Reparations Commission) as they push for restorative justice and political reform. This includes support for the HR-40 bill which seeks to explore and evaluate proposals on how best to implement a reparations package to African-American communities.

16oz can pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is coffee some chocolate roast malts and a little ginger spice. Taste is more of the nice chocolate roast coffee and the ginger on the end.

Whoa, your boy is kinda thrown through a loop like that one time he went on the London Eye on acid. Yeah, going into this one I felt like the mailman who had been bit on the ass one too many times from the Italian Mastiff at the Greco house. Like, all he wants to do is deliver pops his Playboy and mama the Soaps Digest - but Bruno keeps him on his toes. But with Reperations, Raul is all ballerina like. And when I twirl, damn do I twirl! This son of a gun is pretty good! Not that it shouldn’t be, but let’s be real: ginger and beer can be a deadly combination. And water and oil this beer is not. Ok, get wild.
Peace!

Black body. Lots of ginger, in a good way. Vanilla blends in well, not particularly sweet but adds a mild slickness and body. Coffee is not a big presence. Chocolate fudge, ginger, smooth marshmallow. Full bodied, sweet but not syrupy. Lower carb.
