Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

Dark brown black with a thin light brown head. Smells of caramel and wood. Flavor is interesting with a taste of toffee, vanilla, with a hoppy finish. If it is 12% alcohol it is very well hidden.

Pour is a dark brown with an average tan head. Aroma is wood smoke with some cherry an holy mother of god alcohol. Flavor is sweet at first then some chocolate, vanilla, coffee and cherry hit you in that order. Alcohol is there in the end to leave a burning on the tounge and a warmness in the belly. A truly different but tasty beer and a hot one at that.

Deep brown black with mild chocolate head. Sensational aroma of malts, light woodiness, caramel, toffee, and a strong presence of vanilla. Complex flavors of toffee, caramel and vanilla roll over the palate. Stunning symphony of tastes. Moderate roast malt. Dangerously drinkable as I would hardly reckon the ABV is more than 6.5% though it is stated at 12%. Superlative craftmanship.

12 oz. bottle, gift of Nate. Pours a lovely Mocha colored head, short duration, minimal lacing....over a totally opaque black body....nose of vanilla, coffee, molasses, caramel.....taste is initially sweet malting, then coffee, chocolate with a bitter hop finish....wonderful chewy, sticky sweet mouth feel....complex and well balanced...an utterly gargantuan brew.

Pours very dark, almost black impenetrable brown with about 5mm dark tan head. Aroma is full of alcohol and roasted, biscuity malts The flavor is much better than the super high ABV Dogfish beers I have had lately - it is still sweet, but there is plenty of roastiness going on too. The flavor goes through four distinct phases - sweet malt, roasted malts, that meadlike component that is in all the DFH beers I have tasted lately, and finishes with very nice roasted bitterness at the back of the tongue. Mouthfeel of this one is mildly thick and warming. This is a good roasty beer, but I’m not sure the Palo Santo wood was worth the effort.

12 ounce bottle purchased at Big C Liquors Orlando, FL for $4.00 Very good!

wine and alcohol taste suspended in a heavy barley flavor like soy sauce. good body dark with small head this brew is like wine it is strong in character with a hint of cherry and it is at all not sweet.

Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Lot of roasted aromas. Tastes of wood, hopps and roasted malts. It has a dry/tart feel to it and the alcohol is well hidden.
