About This Beer

To craft Acheron, the Martin House crew started with three types of malt, black barley, and creamy oats for dark, cocoa-y currents in every sip. Then they aged it in whiskey barrels for six months. Finally, they finished it all on brown sugar and Columbus Hops for bright undercurrents, balancing the rich, chocolate notes.

Tasting Notes

Dark, cocoa-y currents and streams of vanilla oak course through every sip. Undercurrents of brown sugar and whiskey caramel carry after, balancing the chocolate depths.

Cool packaging but the beer was just ok.

sweet chocolate on the nose, but palate and viscosity fall short. bitterness, tannins, and barrel prevalent on palate. like a thin dark chocolate square. not much complexity on the finish, but a good ba stout.

You wouldn’t even know it’s a high abv beer with how smooth it tastes. Highlight this beer next time you have some company who says they don’t like stouts.

Nice boozy flavors up front. Long finish with bitterness, cocco, dried fruit, wood, etc. Pretty good if you ask me.

Nice roasty malts up front. Slight sweetness from brown sugar blends with the dark chocolate base.

Creamy espresso-like head, smokey malt aroma, chocolate and roasty tastes with hints of vanilla, and a warming whiskey finish.

Dark chocolate becomes prevalent as it warms, with a mild woodiness accentuating the end of the sip. sweetness is balanced by a somewhat dry bitter.

all whisky oak, can’t pull any nuance sugars or char, just straight tannic oak. medium light body with a pleasant aftertaste. not the best from Martin I’ve had.

very dark, smoky, and boozy but not heavy. the lightish body helps cut the intensity of the flavors for a good sipping beer.
