About This Beer
The Hoppin’ Frog aged this bold Dark Lager on Palo Santo — an aromatic hardwood originating from Peru historically thought to have magical properties.
And maybe it does because the brew’s roasty depth and woody intricacy make a huge 11.9% ABV all but disappear!
Tasting Notes
Enormous woody aromas erupt out of every coffee-black pour. The taste follows — oaky tones blending into nuances of cocoa and espresso with hints of lemon lifting it all before a crisp, snappy finish.

I’m not much of a lager guy but this one sounded kinda different… and it was. The flavor profile was distinct and made this one super drinkable.

Roasted malt & molasses, maybe dark cherries and licorice, in aroma. Taste is filled w/those notes plus oak & toffee. Love me a Schwarzbier. Fun spin w/
Palo Santo.
