Dogfish Head Burton Baton

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

Orange red pour, hazy, with a white head. Bubblegum and liquorice with a sweet grainy aroma. Nice sweet start is quickly overpowered by a very bitter alcohol finish. Seemed good, but the just too much of an alcohol taste.

Bottle pours a red color with a nice white head. Has a sweet smell with a nice oak touch. Tastes like a sweet oak cup of beer. Very nice. Laces well as you drink it.

In bottle at Jerry’s. Copper-amber with good, creamy beige head / Oaky, winey, medicinal, dry nose / Medium, sticky, sweet body with good, biting finish / Flavors of spun sugar and oak with faint undertones of dates and apricots / A bit of barleywine character. Not sure that Dogfish needs to produce every crazy idea they come up with, but god bless their sense of adventure nonetheless.

I got to say I had high hopes for this and it didnt quite live up. Aged IPA and 90 Min, together? Well it was too good to be true, this is a little bit bland. Obviously the aging would smooth out the 90, but it doesnt add enough back. At 10% thats nice, but at $14 for a 4-pack I dont think i will be coming back.

12oz. Pours hazy brown with small tan head. Aromas of oak, malt, and a small amount of hops. Flavors of wood, hops, sweet malt? and alcohol. Not a great beer, but ok. Nothing special at all.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber color. Small head. Aroma is oak, vanilla, hops. Flavor is oak, vanilla, hops, and notes of citrus. Extremely smooth beverage. Alcohol is present, but does not detract from this beer.

The cowboy strikes again! Bottle: shared by robert at stateline. Nice dark amber color, small head. Smell is oak, hops, sugar and some fruits. Taste is not like an DIPA. Right away you are hit with the oak, then some fruits, sugar, and small amount of hops. Pretty smooth and over all enjoyable. I will have to pick up a bottle for my self. Thanks Roberto!****UPDATE****April 30th. Picked a couple bottles for my self. Pretty much think the same as the sample but the flavor had a little more character then I remember. Nice blend of hops and good touch of oak. Different DIPA by DFH! Over all good beer!

12 oz bottle. pours rich mahogany in hue, rather minute head for the i2pa. aromas right off the bat are of tasted oak, nectarines, and a candied, creamy-light caramelized curacao peel. there is also juicy citrus present, though not as prominent as the typical DFH brew or i2pa. The aroma alone has made this money well spent. The taste is that of one of the most unique in my favorite style. Layers!!!!! typical heavier caramel, earthiness mixed with citrus rind, but then there’s the oaky and candied grapefruit and juicy grapefruit chunks. There is a slight alcohol taste on the finish, but that juice flavor just lingers with the bittering hops. And what a finish! 4 minutes afterwards, the taste is still there...pleasantly smooth and rounded bitterness blended with a toasty oak flavor on the mid- and back- palate. I highly recommend this ale if you can ever get your hands on it.
