Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout with Toasted Coconut & Coffee
The first pillar in the series is 2022 Benthic Barrel Aged Stout with Toasted Coconut and Coffee. This was the beer that walked us out here - electrifying a supremely decadent synapsis between black velvet, baritone, stout and our slithery little eel minds. Hand-toasted coconut, whole bean coffee and litany of lumber from bourbon's finest. Fire breathing barrel, silky moonshiner fruit, island tropicocono, morning coffee, luxury sludge smothered under a mountainous grain bill of night-black brewer's malt.
Every crevice packed.

Draft @ Extreme Beer Fest, 4 Feb, 17. Nice looking stout. Aroma is light coconut, coffee grounds, dark chocolate.
The flavor is really nice, Coconut hides under a long roasted coffee bean finish. Body is medium plus with a nice smooth creamy mouthfeel. A bit more bitterness then I was expecting toward the finish. Barrel treatment is mild. Still real nice.
