On tap at Half Acre, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma has a ridiculous amount of bourbon, oodles of coconut, plenty of espresso, and wood -- damn. Flavour is ridiculous, with an insane amount of toasted coconut that dominates, followed by espresso, and a complex bourbon barrel blend. Regular Benthic was over-the-top, this is on another level. Beautiful extreme beer.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is dark chocolate, caramel and toffee. Lighter notes of toasted bread, molasses and roast. Moderately strong notes of coffee with lighter coconut. Medium high bourbon and alcohol notes with light oak notes. Pours jet black with a dark mocha head that recedes slowly to the edges. Light lacing and long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of chocolate, caramel and toffee notes. Lighter toasted bread and molasses. Medium bitterness and moderate alcohol notes. Medium bourbon and faint alcohol notes. Fairly strong coffee notes with lighter coconut. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid Benthic and probably my favorite of them. Great balance of malt, adjunct and barrel. Nice mouthfeel.
