Description
“From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to the earth. But man only has to sink beneath the surface and he is free.” -Jacques Yves Cousteau
Benthic is a collection of elements that we’ve selected to shape flagship iterations of barrel aged stout. Each year we’ve tried to elevate their integrity for the most intensive version and release them together as volumes in one larger experience. We look to the spirit makers, coopers, maltsters and our titanic mashing techniques before animating each with copious amounts of freshly processed raw materials to contrast the weighted impact of big stout recipe formulation and extraordinary ABV. Down, down, down we go.
