Description
Modern Times is a 30bbl production brewery and tasting room in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego. Modern Times is named after a beautifully crazy utopian community founded in 1850 (see “Modern Times was..” for the full explanation), and (almost) all of our beers are named after real utopian experiments or mythological utopias.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a tiny head. Aroma is plenty of bourbon barrels, woody oak, and some vanillin. Flavour is wonderfully rich and elegant, with deep bourbon, woody oak, vanillin, and a touch of molasses. Just enough sugars to complement that barrel character. Damn is this beautiful.

22oz bottle. Pours black with no head. Banana, chocolate, and rum on the nose. Flavour is super rich, lots of bananas, chocolate, rum, and bourbon. All very well-integrated, ridiculously rich, lots of booze. Excellent.

22oz bottle. Pours black with a minimal head. Toasted coconut, bourbon, and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour is absurdly rich, tons of toasted coconut, nice bourbon character, lots of brown sugar. Thick, smooth body; super rich and tasty. This is fantastic.

22oz bottle. Pours black with a minimal head. Nose is rich with smoky bourbon and roasted malts. Flavour has deep, smoky, bourbon barrels and a great roasted malt base, all very well-integrated. Flavour and aroma are both rich and powerful. Incredible.

Beer #10,000 (thx, Jen B.!) @ 🏡
Aroma: awesome dark chocolate, sweetness, some American oak, coconut, and vanilla. A bit of booze. Bold and rich.
Taste: moderately to highly thick and sweet, noticeable maple notes, American oak, dark chocolate, a lot of coconut, some dark fruits, vanilla, nice notes of warming alcohol.
Overall: complex, balanced, and very nice. Awesome 10k beer! ❤️

Sweet and lightly roasted dark malty with opulent chocolate, some toffee fudge and caramel sweetness, brown sugar sprinkle, full bodied, great bourbon action and vanilla coalesce into the dark sweet malty lingering finish. Lovely stuff.
