Style | ABV
American Double / Imperial IPA |  10.00% ABV

Availability: Year-round. bottle (1487), on-tap (79), growler (4), nitro-tap (2), cask (1). 

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!

4.43/5  rDev +4.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

12oz bottle into a snifter.

A - Pours a copper color, slightly cloudy. 1-finger, off-white head with a medium retention and a limited lacing. No sign of carbonation coming from the bottom of the glass. 4/5

S - Very nice blend of oak,smoothing the hoppy character with tropical fruits and floral notes. Malt is well present and balances nicely the rest and adds some fruity aromas to it (mostly peach and apricot). 4.5/5

T - Taste is first dominated by hops and alcohol with a good spiciness. Malt gets bigger in the middle of the mouth and the oak dominates at the end and lingers. 4.5/5

M - Lively carbonation, semi-dry finish. Alcohol is certainly there, throughout the experience, but is nicely balanced by the malt. 4/5

O - An awesome beer with an excellent complexity. Alcohol might be a bit intimidating but, in my opinion, it really adds something to it and is never overpowering. Seek it out! 4.5/5
