Dogfish Head Burton Baton

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Milton, Delaware USA

Bottle marked 12/29/05, thanks to drewbeerme. Pours dark orange/red with a very small off-white head, specks of lace. Smells deep, sweet malty with a slight, dark hop character. Tastes caramelly malty with lots of sweet, syrupy, grassy hop flavor. This beer is pretty good still, tastes alot like a hoppy barleywine alla Stone 10th. Full, syrupy body, subdued but good carbonation.

Bottle. Maple syrup colored, light tan head that sticks around. Nice warm malty nose, some alcohol, wood. The flavor comes in somewhere close to a barleywine with the deeper malt backgone than most IIPAs, and the sharp carbonation makes it very easy to drink. Flavor blend hop bitterness, pine, oak, and syrup with a nice warming alcohol finish. Really clean mouthfeel. Great brew.

Bottle pours almost a ruby color with large bubbled head. The aroma was acidic with a touch of grape. There is a sharp sweetness and subtle fruit to the taste and the finish is almost that of a barleywine. There is some bitterness but is seems to be overpowered by the malt and alcohol. Not a bad beer.

[Feb 08 bottle] Great pour! a deep reddish brown with a lovely creamy off-white froth on top. Sweet malty and very woody aroma with lots of fresh piney and fruity hops. Weighty mouthful, beautiful small bubbly carbonation. What a unique flavor! Woody, piney, fruity, slightly burnt candied malts, pineapple, melon... Sure its sweet but its also got a fair amount of bittering. Wish I had another for aging. A DFH I actually like... who know =p 8.5.9.5.18 [Rerate 4.27.09 - bottled 3.30.09] Pours a gorgeous glowing clear red with a thick medium white fine frothy head. Great hoppy aroma, piney, floral, perfume, vanilla, sweet sugary crystal malt. This stuff is so smooth, what a flavor. Fantastic balance for such strong flavors, the oak, vanilla and mellow malts are perfect with the floral piney hops. Easily the best bottle of double IPA I’ve had in months besides Double Trouble. The oak and hops are a more sophisticated balance than that of ST Oak Aged Un*Earthly. Doesn’t seem as sweet as last years, definitely hoppier. Some caramel, ever so slightly near burnt. Super clean finish with a long lasting oak and floral hop aftertaste. Medium/full bodied with a big mouthful that feels quite light, super fine consistent smooth fluffy fizzy carbonation, not sticky at all. That is delicious. 9.5.10.5.18 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [bottle dated 10/16/09 enjoyed 12.2.09] Great aroma! What a wonderful beer, 10.5.9.4.18.

12oz bottle. Another WOW! from DFH. Poured a mostly clear orange with a small off white head that yielded some lacing. Insane floral hop aromas with some resin, must and oak. Flavor was hoppy, spicy and sweet. Reminded me of a tamed 120min.

Aroma is a malty, grassy and slightly oakey smell. Flavor does not deviate from this - it’s full of malt, almost like a barleywine. The hops character is piney and bitter, but there is an oak (from the aging) to its bitterness. The 90min provides the grassy hop aroma, giving it a full IPA flavor with the oak notes.

Clear, light/medium brown in color. Piney resin and sharp ho[s aromas. Nice complex beer. Flavors of grapfeuit, pine, lemongrass, with a touch of malty and oak to hold it all together. my first dogfish, a good start

awesome all around........caramel, and slight citrus....nice dark copper and orange color....I thnk its simalar to the 90 min. with a wonderful hints of oak and malts. thiick and sits very well in the mouth! very very good. another solid pour from Dogfish head.
