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.

Excellent darker brown ale with strong boozy/alcohol flavor to it. Excellent flavor, but pretty strong tasting... More like alcohol than beer

Nice beer, especially with colder weather coming. Woody, a little sweet, subtle hoppiness.

Somehow I found this in Iowa City. It’s been a while. Still smooth, mild booziness (for 12%!), love that woody goodness

This is damn good. Tastes like the embers of a campfire built by your own hands with oak you split yourself.

Smooth. Hints of barrel land booze. Well balanced. Hides the 12% well.

Nice vanilla fruity nose that follows to palate with a nice caramel semi burnt molasses note. Nice head. Dark as night.

Not bad. I like the maltiness/sweetness. Definitely a bit heavy for my taste but I would get it again. Thanks Ross J.!

Excellent! I love a good brown ale, and this most definitely fits the bill.

Catch up - round 2 - deep, raisin-ish, date-like sweetness and oak up the whazoo. This one aged decently too and got even stronger in aroma, and fall spices that set well with cherry pie.

Not bad, but the booziness kind of overwhelms the flavor of the brown ale.

I absolutely love how it hits every flavor on the head. Insanely smooth for 12% as well. One of my all time favorite browns!
