Commercial Description:
Big Brown Ale aged on palo santo wood from Paraguay. This beer is a 12% abv, highly roasty, and malty brown ale aged on the wood of the Palo Santo tree from Paraguay. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities. We were lucky enough to get our hands on 20 blocks of the super-dense wood and the wood was added to the ageing tank after fermentation.

Bottle Pours out black topped with a small tan head. Aroma is of rich roast malts, some chocolate, that 12% and brown sugar. Taste of sweet milk chocolate, light wood, dark roast, and some pit fruit. Very nice mouth feel.

almost opaque. tan head. smells of malt, milk chocolate, heavy cream. Flavor is more sweet milk chocolate, cream, pruney, with a little cherry and a wet wood really showing at the end in a strong way. Huge body with a creamy fizz. Very compelling but somewhat sludge-y.

Bottle from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon consumed at Kolding City Campsite, Kolding Denmark, 24-10-09 Pours black with a light beige head, there is some liquorice and wood on the nose. Quite a tarry taste in the mouth, with sticky bitter toffee, soft in the mouth also. The alcohol is quite noticeable, some vanilla and dark sticky fruits. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6

What a unique brew! Dark and aged in some kind of wood that I don’t know a lick of what the hell it is, but it IS good! Very viscous, sweet (almost cloying but not quite), heady! OMG! Drink three of these and you’l be down for the count! Expert carftsmanship has gone into this unique offering! Syrupy delight!

Opaque brown with a clingy head. Woody, fruity tastes in a big thick body. Currant and dark raisins emerge, particularly as the glass warms. Alcohol a-go-go. Big and sophisticated brew. Excellent.

This beer pours a pitch black with a thin beige head. The aromas are black currant and cherries with wood accents. The flavors are cherries, chocolate, wood and black currant. This is a very interesting beer. A little unbalanced but good nonetheless.Cheers!

Dark brown with a thin biege head. Aroma of rich, toasted dark wood and brown sugar. Flavors warming, creamy, but not my style. A bit heavy on the wood-aging process.

Pours a motor oil black with a short lived beige head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, raisin, maybe some cherry, alcohol, light roast coffee. The flavour is a reflection of the aroma spot on, anise in the finish rounds this delicious beer of nicely. Warming alcohol sensation. Top notch, god bless you dogfish head.
