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.

Aroma: a lot of American oak, some booze, a bit of dark fruits, some candies.
Taste: along the same lines, full-bodied, a bit boozy, moderately sweet. Finishes with toasted barrel notes.
Overall: very nice!

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 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.
