Dogfish Head Burton Baton

Strong smell of hops dominates the aroma. Malty and chocolatey coffee also in the smell. Deep orange color with a light tannish white head. Good lacing. Very sweet in the taste. Don’t notice the alcohol too much, deep roasts in the finish. Very good however, maybe a bit less sweet would have been good. Slightly imbalanced. Very syrupy in the mouthfeel. Good overall, I’d drink it again. I actually really enjoy the sweetness.

Clear ruby/brown with little head. Sweet syrupy scents are balanced well by floral hoppy tones. This beer is syrupy smooth, honey sweet upfront and is bouyed by a quiet hop force toward the finish. Medicinal and lip-lickingly sweet, this brew’s (10%) deadly force is disguised well, and leaves the unweary drinker in its wake.

Coming on the heels of Avery the Beast, this is so tame by comparison. Just a regular ol’ Oak Aged Imperial India Pale Ale, nothing to get worked up about. I guess I can pick out a bit of that advertised oak character, but wouldn’t really know without being told. It’s oily-slick and syrupy-sweet, but so much more subdued than the Beast. In another context, this 10 percenter could kick your ass. This is like your Hulkster to your Andre the Giant. Script it right, and the Burton Baton could win, but in reality the Beast beats it down. At the same time, it doesn’t have the sickeningly cloying mutant-caricature quality of the Beaster. I’d go back to this one again first.

Poured copper with fluffy off white head. Aroma of sweet malt and citrus. Not what I expected. Big sweet malt flavor with hints of candy and citrus. Chewy. Way to sweet. Not what I expected at all. More of a mellow barley wine than IIPA.

Thanks to Juancho. No really what I expected from an Imperial IPA. Tastes more like a Barley Wine. Very sweet.

12oz bottle via trade with someone. Thanks. Pours orange amber with a thin tan head that has faded from something a bit larger. The nose is sweet oaky and a bit hoppy. The taste is sweet, almost too sweet and a bit high on alcohol. Haven’t had 90 in a while but this is a bit too cloying and sweet for me.

Bottle. Dogfish Head Rehoboth Beach. Very similar to 90 min with a little more woody taste. 90 min is fairly perfect when it comes to an IPA. Seems like they tried to over do it. Maybe just that i don’t want anything but the best. Not a bad beer, but be ready for the hops as with any Dogfish IPA.

This beer was poured into a stem glass with a huge frothy head to it. It has a nice abmer color with smells of hops and malt and earthy aromas. It has a very swet taste it is also tart and leaves a lasting impression on your palate.
