The Beer to End All Beers

$16 for 4 beers?

While that seems really high, it's right in line with most super-high quality beers. A 750ml bottle of a good Belgian beer typically runs around $10, and that's just a shade over 2 beers.

Or you can compare it to ballpark prices for beers of a lot worse quality. $16 won't get you 48oz of Bud Light.

It sounds brutal on the surface. But at 12% ABV, and whatever the number of ounces (I'm assuming they aren't 12 oz bottles), it sounds reasonable.

Geen, you make it sound delicious. I'm going to have to poke around in some of the places with a better selection in the 'Lou to see if I can find it.

I don't think Dogfish Head distributes to St. Louis. I could be thinking of someone else though.

I'm pretty sure they don't.

My Hamms, RedWhite and Blue, PBR -drinking forefathers just dropped their horseshoes on their toes.


...but it does sound like good stuff. and it doesn't taste like fruit or chocolate you say?

Geen needs to write for Dogfish.com. His writing is much more inviting, but similar in flavor description.

Palo Santo Marron

Availability:
Year Round

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 it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities.

This beer is a 12% abv, highly roasty, and malty brown ale aged on the Palo Santo wood. It was a huge hit at our Rehoboth Beach brewpub when first released in November of 2006, Palo went into full production at the end of 2007.

At 10,000 gallons, our Palo Tank is the largest wooden brewing vessel built in America since before Prohibition (and we have two same-sized Oak tanks right next to it).

I don't care. I'm on expenses.

So far the closest I've found it is in Grafton Il at a place (which looks pretty cool) called The Rotten Apple. (halfway down)

Obviously I'd like to pay less for beer at the ballpark if I had that option. But something magical happens to that lukewarm Bud Light when I consume it in a seat at a Cardinals game, making it worth every penny.
