This dark brown ale is awesome! Huge dark chocolate start, mid vanilla and finishes with burnt caramel and brown sugar. Also finishes with heavy bitters.
The beer is aged in Peruvian Palo Santo Wood and in addition, wooden planks are thrown into the tank for extra flavor.
I got a bit of Cream Cola as well.
Head - Very light head, thin dark brown head. Very little carbonation.
Body - Pitch black

Nose - Chocolate
Taste - Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Burnt Caramel, Cream Cola. 25/75 Hops to Malts on the tongue.
Finish - 8 second finish. Leaves nice coating of caramel and cream cola behind.
Recommended Pairing - I can imagine some hearty sausages would go great with this beer.
