Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

Bottle: Deep and rich in a brown pour with a small tan head. Roasty and sweet up front in the aroma with a bit of molasses and candied dark fruit. Smokey? Has almost an impy smell... Tastes is roasty, coffee, fruity, and a bit more smoke. Has a great dark roasted feel to it. A solid brew. Thanks to BuckDich.

Dep dark brown black with a faomy beige head that was coaxwd with a swirll or two. Eich aroma o dark roasted maltiness and dark pitted fruits, prunes and raisons. Sweet stoutish. WWS even. Expwcting a stout from the aroma...the flavor is a bit of a let downm To be fair though, a vry nice sweet dark roasted flavor. More IBUs would have balanced it bettter I think. Very good over all though.

Bottle: Pours a ebony mahogany color with a smoky tawny edge towards the tailings. The nose is strong and fruity with those dark resinous things that you wouldn’t expect from the beginning: figs, brown sugar and a chewy bourbony note. The flavor is creamy and resinous with an ample hop note and a roasty chicory and chocolate note. The finish is sweet and balanced, woody tail and a balanced overall impact. Nice and woody but doesn’t have that same bourbon note that most of these barrel aged beers have.

Bottled into trappist glass. Pours a very dark brown to black with a small tannish head. Looks to be no real lacing. Aroma is candyish chocolate. Taste is wow - I’m getting a very bitter dark high cacao-ish chocolate taste with malts, some alcohol burn and a lot of wood in the aftertaste. Nice little hops bite too. A lot going on here, it’s like an Andean flute band meets Jimi Hendrix meets a barber shop quartet.

Dark brown almost black. Tan head. Roasted aroma with hints of vanilla. Roasted, molasses taste with sweet caramel and vanilla. For a 12% beer you cant even tell the alcohol is so high. Expensive but worth every penny. Very unique.

12 ounce bottle pours a dark black, Very limited head. Aroma is a bit boozy with some definite roast chocolate. This beer tastes incredible. Very good balanced taste of booze but more roasted malt. A nice deep malt taste. Definite thick mouth feel that leaves the mouth tingling and your stomach warm. The alcohol is very present but not in a bad way. Would buy again

Bottle.

Pours a deep dark brown with a modest tan head. Woody, almost spicy nose, sweet teriyaki marinade, alcohol. Sweet beer with licorice and tobacco, lots of the strange wood tannins with almost perfume-like intensity, molasses aftertaste. Very hot, boozy flavors, warm on the mouth. Intriguing, but not balanced and I’m not left particularly impressed. Typical DFH; sooner or later I’ll learn.

12 oz bottle. Thick brown head. Black. Wonderful nose of chocolate, malts, caramel, woody-nice. Taste is chocolate, sweetness, sugar, a bit perfumy with the alcohol present but not overwheliming considering this is 12%. Body is sticky, chewy, and gets fluffy as it warms. Nice after dinner drink. Well done.
