Dogfish Head - Palo Santo Marron


This Dogfish Head brew is named after the wood vessel in which it is aged. This "brown ale" clocks in at a hefty 12% ABV and pours like fucking motor oil. I was skeptical at first but this ale has very prominent caramel and vanilla flavors which the label proclaims are from the wood aging. Typically when a beer has an ABV of this caliber, the flavors are lost to the alcohol. Not with this one. It is just simply incredible. If you are a light beer drinker or even an IPA head, you probably will not like this brew. It is only for the seasoned veteran that can appreciate a heavy dark beer. For its style I really could not see this being any better. 5 out of 5. Drink it (if you dare!).

The State of Delaware thanks you. We don't have much to be proud of, even Joe Biden claims to be from Pennsylvania.

I fucking hate you, CA!

American craft beers are far more superior to Australian craft, and cost about 3 times as a much if we want to get one here.

Curse you and your delicious delicious beers.
