Charon
Martin House Brewing Company

 

Pours a pitch black color with a small foamy head. Head retention is mild. Lacing is good. Roasted, brandy and coffee on the nose. Big brandy smooth taste with some mild roasted coffee. Maybe some very mild chocolate at the end. Heavy bodied with mild to moderate carbonation. Not for the faint of heart for sure.

 

 

 

Motor oil pour, scant creamy head.
Nose is alcohol-laden toasted malt.
Taste is definitely of a stout with notes of heavier alcohol, brandy-like no doubt. Char and sweet notes are there. Alcohol sting.
Feels medium and smooth, creamy. Stinger at the end.
It’s strong and it’s boozy, yet it’s not as bad as that sounds because there’s enough brandy-wine-roasted-cocoa taste to somehow round it out to favorable stout flavor.
