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.

2015 batch.just look at that label. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. Literally. Etoh is still there, amazingly. A little cherry/pit fruit on the fruit, with great balanced woodiness on the back.

I love these special beers Dogfish Head make; no matter how big they’ve gotten it is clear their passion hasn’t gone out. Woody and extreme malt sweetness on the nose. Smooth, woody and vanilla on the tongue with minimal indication of its 12% ABV.

This bottle is hella old, the label fell off years ago but I'm guessing this is circa 2013-14 or so? Basically just tastes like the wood now.

I accidentally bought this while ago, I thought it would be a regular brown but this was a barrel aged brown that I was not ready for. I hate this beer.

Fresh this was a 4.5 all day long but with 9 years in the hole, it has lost a little oomph!

Not a craft beer. Made by SAB Miller Asahi. Not a great beer either, leaves a strange cheap feeling aftertaste. That's how a mass produced beer that's trying to pass for a craft would be expected to taste
