This is very sweet but that should be expected. Has a vanilla, marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker, coconut with hints of coffee taste. The roasted malt is there but very muted by the previous. Overall it is a pretty good dessert beer. One that improves as you get further in. I don’t think I could drink more than 2 in one sitting tho as it’s pretty sweet.

As soon as I opened the can I was getting the smell of pretzel. Tastes like roasted peanuts, pretzel, light roasted malt with hints of chocolate. Unfortunately it’s a bit artificial tasting which seems to get worse as it warms. Overall it’s okay at best but I wouldn’t seek.

I try martin house before and haven't had any luck on a good tasting beer

Sickening sweet! Incredible smell on the nose, you definitely get the feeling of inhaling a Smore; the graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow notes definitely come through. On the initial sip I was very pleasantly surprised and happy that a brewery that is known for making sours would make such an excellent stout but halfway through I didn’t want it anymore. I know it’s an imperial stout and the majority of those are very sweet but this was too sweet for me to enjoy by itself. If I had counter-balanced that with something savory like a really good steak and potatoes I would have enjoyed it but I just didn’t enjoy this by itself as much as I thought I would

A Duo beer that Ryan got me. One of Martin Houses really cool two beers to a box collection. This one is a whiskey barrel aged blueberry sour. What could go wrong with that? Well, these two beer boxes are usually good so let's give it a try. Pop the can and an immediate fruity aroma emerges, no whiskey barrel. Pours into the glass with a bright red color, slightly hazy, and a small pink head. The blueberry fruit aroma is exquisite. Still no whiskey barrel. Flavor is sweet but in a true fruit sense. Not sugary or artificial at all. Blueberry is distinct and has an actual, real fruit quality. There is some lactose that has softened the texture. In the background, the whiskey barrel aging gently adds to but doesn't dominate the entire flavor. The natural fruit sweetness along with a small tart sourness is balanced perfectly. The flavors from the first to the middle to the last never changes. The more that Ryan and I talked back and forth about this beer, the more I liked it. It's not just that it is a good beer in its category, a sour. It's a good beer. I like it, sour or not. There's nothing artificial about the blueberries, I'm convinced it's real puree. It's not overly sour but more of a fruity tart. The whiskey barrel aging was a compliment to and not a dominant overpowering flavor. Probably the best sour I've had and would make a great breakfast beer.

Picked up a pack of these at Speck’s to split with a friend. It’s definitely a sipping beer but as they got warmer, they didn’t start tasting bad. Imo when it’s cold, it’s more PB. When warm, it’s more pretzel.

Delicious sweet smooth taste. Great with a scoop of ice cream

Distressing news today. One of my favorite Houston breweries closed. Buffalo Bayou is no more. What a great place and fantastic beers. Tonight's Duo with Ryan we are using our Buffalo Bayou glasses in tribute. Another Houston Brewery, Martin House, has taken a blonde ale and infused it with maraschino cherries and then whiskey barrel aged it. Not a lot of head, crystal clear with an orangish red color. Aroma is totally maraschino cherries. Texture, I can't remember having a 13.1% beer that's so thin. It's blonde characteristic is apparent. Super sweet cherries, and a blast of alcohol. As the finish arrives, traces of the oak barrel appears. The alcohol gets stronger as you drink it. Their task of delivering a very potent maraschino cherry ale was successful. Flavor was dead on and the abundance of whiskey alcohol did not conflict with the product. Well done.

A special two can in a box addition from Martin House Brewing. They can be suspect but their two in a box specials are usually pretty good. But a barrel aged watermelon sour? Looks like a tequila sunrise, orange on the outside and red in the middle. Very hazy. Aroma is definitely a sour, sweet like a flower. First sip is not good. Second sip gets worse. Super sweet, totally artificial, barrel aged whiskey does not combine with the other flavors. This is really rough. Small third sip and I'm done. 2 bad beers in 2 days. Yuck!
