Bourbon & Rye Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Toasted Coconut & Coffee. Yes, the entire volume was aged in three rounds of barrels — Round One: Elijah Craig, Four Roses and Willett. Round Two: all Buffalo Trace. Round Three: Sazerac Rye and Russell’s Reserve. 23 months total time resting in wood. So much work sourcing lumber and carefully moving beer barrel-to-barrel to yield wonderfully giant stout. A standard touch of coconut and half the coffee we usually push, Triple Barrel Benthic will have you looking to muddle Demerara™ and top it all with candied Luxardos™ . A little spice, flaming marshmallow, a furry ape hug of brown booze and a hat tip to the barrel team.

Loads of barrel, some coffee, coconut, vanilla, hints of oak, toffee, syrup and chocolate sauce. More intense and sweeter than the regular. Pretty complex slow sipper.
