DB2x4 Benthic sits in a high garden of wide ranging flavors. I automatically pan to Triple Barrel Catch Hell to scale it, but this beer fans an alternate catalogue. Mother of pearl, the coconut! Cut from the trees, hand toasted and heaped lb x lb. Dense vanilla chocolate swirly, easing toward whiskey mochachino. ABV held quiet beneath piles of specialty malts, sweet steamer froth and good brewery practice. A great close to the season, and another notch up the stilts.

Intense, roasty and heavy with loads of barrel, some vanilla, coconut, roasty coffee, cocoa and chocolate notes, oaky bourbon notes. Thick body, super complex and intense barrel overdose. Quite balanced and tasty. Great stuff
