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.

Oh this is good... it’s like a sweet American strong with the coffee and roast of a stout and the wonderful complexities of a bourbon oak aged beer... weird... but good! Everyone should try this awesome beer!

Bottle. Pours thick and dark like an imperial stout. Resinous with aromas of roasted malt, alcohol, chocolate and vanilla. Flavors of chocolate, cherry, raisin, a bit of coffee, toffee, bourbon and a lot of roasted sweet maltiness. The sweetness and complexity helps to balance out the high alcohol content. Thick and velvety mouthfeel. Interesting and enjoyable.

Tap: dark brew with no head. Spicy, nutty taste that reminds me of soy sauce (I know it’s strange). Not a bad flavor, just a unique one. don’t think I could drink much more than the 4oz sampler because the alcohol is huge in this one.

Bottle from Utobeer. Very dark brown with a small beige head. Lovely coffee, chocolate and vanilla aroma. Fruity, even with a hint of vinous bubblegum, as well as vanilla and some roast. Chocolate. Alcoholic. Full-bodied and flat. Quite unique.

Bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown with a wispy light brown head that clings to the edge of the glass. Aroma is very rich, woody with dark chocolate hints. Flavor is exceptionally rich and woody with some spicy notes, dark chocolate, cherry. Very full with dry woody character, a nice carbonation. Very potent up front and a little hot more of a sipper.
