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.

No idea how this hid in my cellar for so long. Sadly it might be past the point of diminishing returns. Not nearly as rich and all of the flavors are turned down across the board. Still tastes like a solid brown ale but nothing really special anymore

Aged 3 years! Sweet malt, vanilla, and brown sugar bourbon nose. Fluffy, full mouthfeel with great coating. Lovely long finish with lots of caramel flavor. ABV is well hidden. Such a loss that this one is discontinued!

Very nice. Strong/boozy with an almost applewood flavor all balanced by heavy malt sweetness.
