Palo Santo Marron

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and its wood has been used in South American wine-making communities.

Immense nose of overripe apples, cocoa powder, tart cherries and vintage port. Taste is explosion of aged fruitcake, Black Forest torte, tiramisu and Mexican chocolate. Palo Santo wood offers unique tannic bite to an already outstanding brew. Blown. Away!

Yep. It's in there. A bit sour. Very warming. Caramel and toffee. Will drink again.

Bottled on 2/11/2008 so 13th birthday today. Probably the last bottle in the world. Held up well. Still very drinkable. Maybe a little cardboard, but not unexpected at this age.

This was the 2015 vintage. I’ve been digging into my seller and enjoying every moment. Still one of my favorite beers.

Very strong taste, but it should be at 12%! Watching the NFC Championship. Don’t call it a comeback!

It’s very well balanced and I sort of like the obvious herbal wood notes.

I believe a Delaware beer is appropriate right now. Haven’t had this one is a good while. That wood aging is fierce!

The last of a 4 pack I purchased right after landing in the States back on 11/24. I only have one when I know it’s time. One of the greats, in my opinion.

2016 vintage. Dark and smooth. The wood is giving this some vanilla. The brown ale holds its own.

Can certainly taste the booze but it doesn’t over power. Like most dogfish beers there’s a lot of different flavors that come out with each sip. You’re welcome Shawn.
