Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: American Strong Ale
Milton, Delaware USA

Deep, dense brown pour with a head the colour of a fisherman’s arms. Huge aroma of roasted brown sugars and alcohol. Everything about this brew is shades of brown. Brownies, toasted brown sugar, dark sweet dried fruits, and Pacific hops all found here in abundance. Wonderfully creamy and intense meant to be savoured sip by sip. DFH has a challenge to Stone now. Where can I get some of the wood?

Very dark brown from a 12oz, with med. brown head, fast light lace. A lovely candy-malt aroma, very pungent with an edge of tree sap. Flavor is very original with bold malt filled with a sweet tangy woody, cedar-like flavor. Cuban coffee comes to mind. The palate is a bit oily and the finish hangs on like woodsmoke. Overall very pleasant

Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes de caramel brûlé, d’alcool et de bois. Robe brune foncée, pas de mousse et effervescence faible. Très sirupeuse, une touche boisée et vanillée est présente, mais demeure réservée et est bien supportée par un beau malt caramel et une touche de réglisse. Finale sucrée et très alcoolisée. Il s’agit d’une bonne bière, mais l’alcool est vraiment très présent.

Black color; thin creamy head, brown. Light aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and alcohol. Smooth and quite strong body; strong chocolate character, with some sweetness, light liquorice; the Palo Santo probably leaves a light wood touch, light astringency and light sourness. Correct bitterness; the final is warming but not too alcoholic.
A chocolate brew, powerful but not too complex.

Pours the consistency of dark brown maple syrup out of the botela. Has a half inch brown head that settle to a film before enjoyment can begin. Looks alcoholy in the liquid. Nose is roasted malt with brown sugar maple and alcohol. Taste is punchy brown roasted malt with sage and whatever. Gives a bad headache the next day. Are we done with this yet?

12oz bottle from Winooski. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Nose is very rich. Sweet, fruity, alcohol, quite malty and roasty. Hints of liquorice and molasses. Some vanilla. Woody and a bit peppery. Taste has lots of alcohol, some dark fruits, lots of malt and some vanilla and barrel. Woody. Slight bitterness. Nice sipper, awesome winter warmer. A bit too boozy. Texture is oily. Finish is warm, liquorice, vanilla and roasted malt. Delightful. Gets a bit spicier at the end.

Bottle. Was really looking forward to this. Nice aroma of malt, wood and some spice. Dark appearance. Taste was chocolate, leather, dry, spice but seemed overwhelmed by the alcohol. Nowhere near as complex as some of their other brews. Palate was as dry as a can of Nestle’s Quik. Perphaps, it was a bad bottle.
