We brewed this two years ago specifically to age up to two years in the barrel. It consists of a complex grain bill of 2-Row, Oat Malt, Victory Malt, Munich 1, Double Roasted Crystal, Aromatic Malt, Roasted Barley, Midnight Wheat, Chocolate Malt, and Flaked Barley. The body is impressive! We also added D-90 Amber Candi Sugar during primary fermentation to boost the Original Gravity to a theoretical 40 Plato (1.1790 SG!). It’s insanely full-bodied, almost port-wine-like. Deep chocolate ganache notes, fudge, and oak prevail. This will be a fantastic beer to drink now or lay down to enjoy in a year or two.

22 oz bomber into a snifter
Too bad what's happened with MT - this beer deserved to be more widely distributed and appreciated over time. Unfortunately, their 10th anniversary was basically their last, at least as far as these kind of beers are concerned.
Beautiful roasty-sweet nose with hints a clove and carob. Lots of vanilla on the palate - you can taste all of the previous iterations of their barrel aged projects, like Modem Tones, rolled into this one. Decahex was decadent af.

Bomber at share. Near black pour, thin ring of beige head. Aroma is roasty and boozy, chocolate. Taste is heady, roasty blend of chcolate and bourbon, sweet and boozy. Creamy, velvety feel. So good.

On tap at Modern Times Fermentorium. Fantastic stout. Motor oil black with zero head. Tons of legs along the glass. This is a big boozy beer. Tons of bourbon, vanilla, toffee, booze, figs, plums, and raisins. Lovely.
