About This Beer

Cowabunga dudes! The craft masters at Martin House are back with a brand-new turtle-inspired Stout that’s shockingly delicious. And we’re not talking about your favorite heroes in a half-shell — you won't find any lean green crime-fighting machines anywhere in this beer except on the can art. No, we’re talking about the rich, nutty, caramel-dipped, chocolate-coated candy!

To create this decadent treat, the crew loaded up an opulent base with pecans, fudge, caramel, and vanilla, so every sip is like a melted turtle sundae!

Tasting Notes

Notes of milk chocolate and crème brûlée skateboard across a roasty malty backbone. Meanwhile, toasted pecan nuances ripple throughout the velvety finish. Just look out for the bold 10%ABV. That booze comes out of nowhere, just like Shredder’s minions!

Almost like drinking a chocolate candy turtle. Idk what it is though, kind of has a bit of chemical taste.

Cowabunga dudes! Creamy head, dark chocolate turtle aroma, dry cocoa taste with subtle notes of caramel, pecan, and vanilla, nice effervescence, smooth, and warming alcohol finish.

Floods. 😳 edition. Delightfully rich vanilla, mocha and…something that sorta pops on the finish like cherry? Not sure if that’s intended but overall it’s rich and tasty.

A really fantastic beer that all four turtles would enjoy. I’ll be honest I bought this for the can but the beer is truly incredible.

Not gonna lie, totally bought it just bc of the ninja turtle... but holy crap it was delicious!! Fudge was front and center on the first sip but I did taste all the notes that is listed on the can. No one note really "overpowered" the others. Damn good beer just wish I would've bought more than 2.

THICK stout. The flavor is good, but it’s really heavy.
