The fermenting tanks use for this beer is made of Paraguayan Palo Santo. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities. Here is a video about the making of this beer. This beer has an odd smoky, molasses aroma. The color is black without any light getting through. The head is low, but says around keeping the beer covered.
There is a lot of flavor in this beer. The most noticeable flavor is wood and earthy, definitely from the aging in a Palo Santo fermentor. There is also some age beer raisin and vanillaflavor also likely from the fermentor. The malt flavor is sweet like molasses with some hints of malt. The mouthfeel is smooth and thick. The finish is a little alcohol warmth mixed with molasses.
This is a really unique beer.
