Burton Baton

Historical Beer - Burton Ale

An oak-aged, gentle giant. Two "threads," or batches, of beer — an English-style old ale and an imperial IPA — are brewed and, after separate fermentation in stainless tanks, are transferred and blended together in large oak tanks.

Strong as get-out, with alcohol not at all hidden. Interesting blend of the malt and caramel flavors of a dubbel (or even a Quad) with the bitter hops of a big West Coast IPA. The oak aging adds lovely depth, but doesn't quite blend the flavors.

Tried an aged bottle from 2010. So mellow & full of caramel.

Vintage 2008. What?!? An old ass Imperial IPA? Nope. An old ass oak aged 10% ABV Imperial IPA. Any hops left? You kidding? Smells like oak and tastes like oak. Oaky with bready caramel malts, a quick splash of vanilla, a hint of orange peel, and alcohol.

Strong body, heady notes, boozy and fun. More drinkable than straight booze but meets it halfway!

English style ale (malt) and oak tank conditioning have taken over. Hopps are almost gone
