Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

Here is a beer that will launch conversations that are usually reserved for fine wine and whiskey. This is a nice strong beer that impresses all who taste it, even me, and I usually do not like beers that are too dark to see through. It is a dark brown color, almost black. The taste changes as you sip and ranges from chocolaty, to nutty, and also woody. Strong at 12% it does hides it's alcohol well. Price falls in line with the rest of the prem four packs.
On the strong beer ranking It goes above the DF90. Highly recommended to all, it's well worth seeking out. I'm glad the dog fish fellow stopped making the tv show long enough to bring this one out.

Strong beer for those who love hops.
This came highly recommended to us, and it did not let down. Although I'm not quite sure it is a pale ale, it is a nice strong quality drink. Nice amber color, first tase is a hoppy explosion, quite strong, just under overbearing, even for myself and I love the strong pales and ipa's. This hoppy tast does get less noticable as you drink and lets you enjoy the rest of the flavor. At just under 12% this is strong beer - it seems you can feel one, finishing the whole pack of four would be a night for most people. Cost wise it falls in with the rest of the premium four packs. I would highly recomend this to those who are hop hounds. As for ranking it I feel it falls under the Dogfish 90 in the strong beer chart (the DF90 seems a little smoother in it's main body of tase).
As was recommended to us we recommend it to those who love the strong stuff.
