Dogfish Head Burton Baton

Was unsure at first at how an IPA would to take to barrel aging. Well, Dogfish Head has pulled it off quite nicely. It seems to be quite a bit less hoppy than the 90 minute. The barrel aging has given this IPA a nice creamy texture as well as vanilla and caramel flavors. The hops and still there and integrate almost flawlessly with the barrel flavors. Yum

I enjoyed this beer on draft at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore. The beer had a dark amber-bronze color with an average sized white head that had great cling and average retention. It had a heavy grain and earthy aroma with some citrus components too and a bit of malt. The taste was very bitter and grainy with some sour yeast flavors too. The beer had a wet body with a dry finish, moderate carbonation, and was filling although light.

A beautiful pour, deep copper with a nice, light tan head, though I wish the head lasted a bit longer. Nose is dominated by the hops, a little sweetness, and a fair dose of alcohol. Flavor is good. Well balanced and subtler than the nose. Flavors fade a bit too quickly for full marks, but this is a very good beer.

nice full IPA flavor, nice yeast, adn good finish. This is my new go too beer.

The ABV is the primary taste. Nice thick head, rich caramel malt tones, and just knocks you out. Very good oaked/earth quality, a very nice mixed beer.

great beer... strong and tasty.. aging it in oak was a great idea ... recommend

bottle courtesy of ivy7496. syrupy medium orange pour with 1 ginger off white creamy head that leaves nice lacing and some legs. aroma is heavy of slightly smokey oak and a sweet wallop of hops with a musty, foggy backdrop. nice grainy earthen taste on the palate and in the aftertaste. tastes crisp and fresh cut with some hints of pine lent by the hops. a very woodsy feel to it, very warming. great iipa blend!
