About
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.

Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.

Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

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.

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
On tap at the brewery. Aroma is a bit odd with notes of toasted oats and other grain character that's nutty. Light caramel, toffee and chocolate notes. Faint vanilla and coconut notes. Light bourbon and alcohol notes with faint oak. Pours black with dark brown head and a medium sized, thick, dark mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges. Flavor is somewhat sweet with bittersweet chocolate and oatmeal with lighter notes of caramel and toffee. Medium high bitterness and medium light alcohol notes. Light coconut and medium light vanilla notes. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer but the toasted oat notes just overpower the beer and don't work. It overwhelms both the aroma and flavor.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is super apple brandy forward. Lots of chocolate, caramel and toffee as well. Lighter roast and molasses notes. Light cinnamon and faint coconut. Medium light alcohol and faint oak notes. Pours jet black with a dark mocha head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of caramel, toffee and chocolate. Lighter roast and molasses notes. Medium bitterness with medium light alcohol notes. Moderate apple brandy notes but less then in the aroma with moderate cinnamon, but more than in the aroma. Cinnamon lingers a bit in the finish and adds a bit of bitterness. Faint oak notes. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, I love the aroma on the beer; is more apple forward than any other apple brandy stout I have ever had. Coconut is much lighter in this variant. Cinnamon isn't overpowering.
