Notes:
This oak-aged gentle giant has been gaining popularity over the past few years and is now available year-round.
For Burton Baton, we brew two "threads," or batches, of beer: an English-style old ale and an imperial IPA.
After fementating the beers separately in our stainless tanks, they're transferred and blended together in one of our large oak tanks. Burton Baton sits on the wood for about a month.
When enjoying the Burton Baton, you'll find an awesome blend of the citrus notes from Northwestern hops melding with woody, vanilla notes from the oak. The wood also tends to mellow the 10% ABV of Burton, so tread cautiously!

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Poured from 12oz bottle into a nonic Imperial Pint. Stored and poured at 45 degrees.
A- Cloudy brown caramel color; rather dark for a DIPA. More head and carbonation than I expected for a wood-aged DIPA.
S- Light hops scent, not much citrus at all. Very sweet with some pine and floral. Slight caramel and biscuit scent (from the oak?).
T- Really nice and mellow. The bitterness is balanced well by sweetness and the wood hints. Maybe a bit sweeter than I would prefer.
M- Smooth and mellow with proper body for a DIPA. Makes you want to smack it around a bit to enjoy the mouthfeel and to see what else comes out at the end of the taste.
0- Very mellow and drinkable, for 10% abv. I'll definitely keep one of these in the beer fridge; not cheap, but can be picked up as a single and worth doing so.
