Oct 27, 2009 Aroma: Citrus, floral, sweet candies, malt and oak. Smells awesome but it’s -1 for not being strong enough. Appearance: Clear reddish-copper color. Flavor: Oak, pine hops, sweet malts, bready. Palate: medium body, sticky, lively, bitter/sweet finish. Overall: I like this beer alot. It’s really good and I llike the oak influence on this beer. Good stuff!

Oct 25, 2009 Trade bottle from GMCC2181(GABE). Got to share this with a few friends. Aroma of caramel, citrus, sweet hints of oak. Taste was hoppy, malty, sweet, and alcohol. Appearance was nice clear amber with bubbly white head. Pallet was medium and sticky. Overall very good.

Oct 23, 2009 12oz local bottle. Clear boronze colour with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is actually more malt than hop plus some alcohol and syrup. The flavour includes some pineapple, more alcohol and some wood in the finish.

Oct 22, 2009 12oz bottle from 4-pack at home on October 22, 2009. Burton Baton is the smell of divinity. Its appearance is deceiving. It looks clear, but it’s not. The glow of its golden orange color with reddish hues looks clean, yet thick. The head: fine and light, off-white, and bubbly. Lacing is sticky and solid, sliding down the edge of the glass slowly, but surely. Aroma of hops and malt with hints of oak. This bouquet travels... it’s potent and awesome. The mouthfeel a little sticky and sweet with a delicious amount of hops. A little of the oak comes through, but just enough to tint the flavor. Mixing it 50/50 with their 90 minute IPA was a great idea. This beer is easy to drink, delicious, and beautiful beer. Pleasant finish, addictive, wish I could drink this every day.

Oct 21, 2009 Pours a reddish brown with a small off-white head. Delicious sweet aroma of citrus, malt, and alcohol. Nice complex flavor of toasted malt, oak, fruit, and brown sugar. Smooth citrus (maybe grapefruit) finish. Solid, full mouth feel. Definitely like this one. Probably going to get a 4-pack and try aging a couple.

Oct 20, 2009 Tried a sample of vintage 2005 at Brewfest Tallahassee. With this much age, it’s all oak characteristics and complex sweet malts; not much hop left.

Oct 20, 2009 A reddish brown beer with a small head. The aroma is an interesting mix of sweet, fruity, floral, & alcohol. The taste is brown sugar, fruity, some wood, caramel, & a dash of chocolate. This is more complex than I expected & yes it is bordering on a barley wine as I find some DIPA’s are. Now I need to decide if I should age this beer.

Oct 18, 2009 Beautiful. Someone on here described it as a cross between a barleywine and a DIPA. That sounds about right to me. Heavy malt flavor, a good bit of oak, a smooth almost sherry-like finish. I’m not always crazy about oak aging, but it really works here. Delicious.
