Dogfish Head - BURTON BATON Review


Type: Oak-aged Imperial IPA

ABV: 10%

Color: Beautiful Translucent Brown with hints of orange...Some light lacing that dwindles as the volume goes down.

Aroma: Candied sweetness...maybe raisins or plums. Malt and oak come through strong with some vanilla at the finish

Taste: Up front hit of bitter and alcohol then the sweetness from the malt comes forth. The Dark fruits whatever they are come up to smooth it all out.

Overall: Decent. The taste of alcohol is almost too much but the malt and fruit hints save the day...No aftertaste as the sweetness subtly overwhelms the bitter and alcohol nicely.

Score: 7.8/10
