Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

Pours with very little head. Good carbonation. Very rich with great complexity. A surprising amount of flavor and very enjoyable with no hint of its gravity.

Pours a thick tan head with streaked laceing along the sides of the glass, and the color is a dark brown. The nose is nice and woody with some roasted malt and you can almost smel thefloral hops. Initially the flavor is nice and smooth and has a creamy texture. There is the presance of dark fruits with an oak finish to the brew. Overall it has just the right blend of spice, wood, malt and fruits balanced with the right amount of carbonation.

Draft. Thick brown pour with a nice tan head. Some chocolate, coffee, and some caramel. You can sense the alcohol in both the aroma and taste. A hint of wood aging in the taste. Some chocolate and spice in the taste. Pretty good!

Opaque brown-black pour. A thick bubbling tan leaves a moderate lacing. Aromas of yeast, vanilla, fruit, and spices. First impression on the tongue is sweet, yeasty, and fruity, peaches and gumballs. The mid-palate features caramelized malts, cinnamon, and alcohol, and then comes a slightly bitter woody finish. Medium bodied and powerfully warming.

aroma of wood and chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, and alcohol; opaque body with small and thick brown head and minimal lacing; smooth, kick’n, and spicy strong ale that is quite stout--very good, somewhat interesting, and original due to its 20 blocks of the super-dense wood... yeaup.

12 oz bottle. Dark black/brown with a brown head which collapsed quickly. Aroma is malty, a tang of sweetness and alcohol. Mouthfeel is nice and dense, really coats the mouth. Taste is a little charred malt, some chocolate, nice bitterness with a slight alcohol bite. Pretty good, very original.

Poured from the bottle a dark brown with one finger tan head with a fairly aggressive pour. Aroma is caramel, berry, vanilla, and earth (probably from the wood). Flavor was rich with sweet malts, roasted malts, light fruit, caramel, vanilla, and some lingering hops. Full bodied, but not heavy. Smooth and very drinkable, really nice when it warmed a bit. The alcohol was barely noticeable. Very unique, very good.

12 oz bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Dark brown color. Coffee, ginger, wood, cola and berries in the aroma. Sweet, roasty, fruity, woody, coffeish, berryish flavor with vanilla and wood. Chewy mouthfeel with woody finish. Very orinal, good work!
