Palo Santo Marron

Unfiltered brown ale from Dogfish Head in Milton (Delaware), aged in vats made of palo santo wood from Paraguay, which give it its caramel and vanilla notes; very roasty and malty. Launched at the Rehoboth Beach brewpub in November 2006, in production since late 2007; its two 10,000-gallon vats are the largest wooden brewing vats built in the United States since Prohibition. Bitterness: 50 IBU. Brewed occasionally.
