About this beer

Half Acre Beer Co.’s Benthic is a robust Imperial Stout, clocking in at 13.7% ABV. Brewed and canned in Chicago, Illinois, this particular iteration is bourbon barrel aged with toasted coconut & coffee, lending a complex character to the dark brew. The flavor profile evokes rich notes of chocolate and roasted malt, initially, followed by a warming bourbon presence and finishing with the subtle sweetness of coconut and a hint of coffee roast. The label artwork features a striking, somewhat surreal illustration of a deep-sea creature—an anglerfish—against a dark blue and white grid background, emphasizing the "benthic" or seafloor theme.

The beer’s ingredients highlight the use of both bourbon barrels for aging and the addition of both toasted coconut and coffee to complement the stout base. A warning about responsible consumption is prominently featured, alongside information about the brewery’s location and website. The label specifies that it’s one pint (2020) and includes a barcode for inventory tracking.
