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.

Dark brown. No head. Rich, inky aroma, burnt toffee, toasted oak, and some fruitiness, raisins. On the palate, the coconut is much bigger, soft, sweet, and quite fruity. Lots of coconut, some oaky accents. Rich, desserty. Excellent.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black, almost no head. Aroma is full of toasted coconut upfront, molasses, and plenty of woody bourbon barrels. Flavour is full of intense coconut upfront, a touch of molasses, and accentuated by the bourbon barrels. Really lush, with a wonderful blend of coconut and bourbon. Beauty.

22oz bottle. Pours black with no head. Tons of coffee, bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, and roasted malts on the nose. Flavour is super rich, packed with coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon; great roasty base beer. This is excellent.

Dark, no head, the aroma is great. It's got a big bourbon character, some fruitiness from the base, toffee, touch of dark chocolate, and lots of oak. On the palate, big bourbon, toffee, light fruitiness, and soft sugars. Fantastic flavour, and balance, a good bit of alcohol in the finish, too.

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.
