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.

650mL bottle. Pours nearly black with no head. Tons of deep bourbon barrels and dark roast on the nose; great char and bourbon. Flavour has excellent bourbon barrel character, rich with good char, well-integrated into the roasty base stout, lots of dry dark sugars. This is excellent.

Stingy, sweetish and slightly tart with some raspberry notes, mild sourness, juiciness, funky oakiness, earthiness and woodiness. A bit harsh but tasty

Dark brown, no head. The aroma has a lot of vanilla, and on the palate you get a lot of alcohol, rich chocolate, cocoa, with a fair bit of sweetness, nice light bourbon.

Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some nectary tones with mild citrus to it. Flavour is citrus, some nectar and mild herbal and a bit grainy and bitter tones to it.

Sweetish, roasty and intense with banana coconut chocolate cookies, syrup, cocoa and vanilla bourbony vibes. Okay, a bit heavy
