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.

The last one. Bought these back in 2015 or so, aged pretty well considering they traveled almost around the world (DE-HI-IL). Still amazing!

Cellared for 5,5 years under very unforgiving conditions. Very smooth, but no wood aroma as I remember was very prominent when I tasted it fresh

2019 throwback. Smells more “figgy” then I recall and the flavor is much different from when it’s fresh. That weird wood flavor is no longer the star and the rest of the beer comes through nicely. Great semi-dry finish so it’s an easy drink.
