get it *if* you can.


Palo Santo Marron

Availability: Limited monthly releases, year-round


Palo Santo Marron (Holy Tree Brown)
An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities.
This beer is a 12% abv, highly roasty, and malty brown ale aged on the Palo Santo wood. It was a huge hit at our Rehoboth Beach brewpub when first released in November of 2006, so it's coming back... into full production!
At 10,000 gallons each, these are the largest wooden brewing vessels built in America since before Prohibition.
Click below to watch "Take Time," the short film we released with the first full-production batch of Palo Santo Marron in February 2008.
It's all very exciting. We have wood. Now you do too.

yeah its expensive as fuck...but its good as hell and gets u smashed quick.....i def. thnk they put quality over everything based on the video they made for this.

ive fucked with the 60,90 and 120 minute IPA's those are smooth, but something about this one get you feelin weird after even a few sips...just kinda like that 120 minute..maybe palo santo has some properties to it...

its dope to see a beer company really push the line on what beer is and where it can do, sierra nevada was my old favorite brewery now i def give it to dogfish head

Cellared for the better part of three years, I will serve this in an Imperial pint glass at just over fridge temperature. 22oz. bomber, no freshness date.

Apperance- Deep chocolate brown, almost black color. The foamy head rises almost four fingers tall, medium tan with plenty of substance. The bubbles pop and fade away slowly, leaving craters that eventually fill in. No lacing, which surprises me.

Smell- Sweet decadence... the aroma is of the highest quality imported chocolate, so rich and massive. Creamy enough of a nose to smell like a good milkshake.

Taste- Absolutely stunning presentation on the palate... there is nothing that could possibly be improved here. The entry is dry and rich, sweet yet bitter. It is so mouth-filling in its character, the entire tongue is captivated by nuances of sweet, gourmet chocolatey goodness and bitter, dark notes that dry the mouth in anticipation of the next sip. The most rewarding and impressive phase for me is the swallow, which allows all ingredients to open up completely and showcase their perfect balance, and complex flavors. Never in a million years could I have been prepared for such an incredibly satisfying beer.

Mouthfeel/Drinkability- I love the subtle coarseness of the mouthfeel, as it provokes the sweet and bitter attributes to work with each other while adding texture. The most phenomenally delectable stout I can recall in ages... this is a true masterpiece, and should not be overlooked for the sheer reason of broad availability, as sometimes happens. Bravo.

This is a very very dark chocolate stout with a nice pleasing chocolate smell similar to dark chocolate with a touch of coffee.
This would be one of my favorite beers if it just had a little more something to the mouth feel, when I see a stout this dark I begin smacking my lips for that first sip that feels more like eating a snack then having a drink. Leaves a very pleasing chocolaty after taste. definitely goes down easier than your average stout, which gives this a great drink ability factor.

Dark pour with a creamy tan head that fades away very slowly. Chocolate aroma with a hint of hops coffee and roasted malt. . Very good mouthfeel and very smooth going down. I got the chocolate taste throughout the beer. The finish was deep smoky chocolate but very subtle. Will drink again and again

A - Deep Dark body, thick frothy mocha/tan head that provides a veil of lace all the way down the glass, undetectable carbonation. Gorgeous for a dark bodied beer.

S - Bitter coffee notes, slight piney hops, thick milk chocolate, roasted notes. No wonder it tops the list of BA's Stouts.

T - Cocoa bitterness, slight hops, some medium roast coffee and somewhat of an oat or grain. I think the hoppy bitterness is the only thing that detracts from the stout qualities.

M - Not near as thick as other full flavored stouts, a wonderful quality in a full flavored beer. Coats the tongue and leaves the cocoa and that hoppy taste behind.

D - I'd do it over again.. for free. Hell, I'd even pay money to do it over again. Wonderful brew, absolute favorite as of yet.
