Notes:
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 its wood has been used in South American wine-making communities.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75

Bottle Served in tulip shaped glass

Appearance: very dark, almost black, with a thin brown head, and very little lacing when tilting the glass.

Smell: sweet, vanilla, caramel,

Taste: coffee chocolaty, sweet caramel vanilla,

Mouthfeel: syrupy thick with moderate carbonation.

Overall, I would characterize this beer as a stout. It feels like a stout and it tastes like a stout, except its much sweeter. It looks, smells, feels, and tastes like a stout. This is by far the best brown ale I've ever had. I will definitely be buying this again.

First of all, this categorized itself as a "Brown Ale"...????

It is pretty much a stout in flavor, color, and smell.

BUT, it is absolutely amazing.

Color of Motor oil. Taste of roasted grain, slight chocolate, hints of wood from the barrels. Heavy, decadent.
