Burton Baton (2011)

IPA - Imperial / Double

An oak-aged, gentle giant which has been gaining popularity over the past few years and is now available year-round. 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. Burton Baton sits on the wood for about a month. When enjoying the Burton Baton, you'll find an awesome blend of the citrus notes from Northwestern hops melding with woody, vanilla notes from the oak.

Aged 12+yrs. Nose says age, oak & maybe sweetness is on the way. Wow, dense with heat, toffee, some caramel & tobacco from age. Still has oak. Lost a little carb, but smooth & complex. Aged like a champ. Gonna mess around & post on Insta.

Very dark murky brownish reddish orange, really great nose, smells like an aged barleywine, malty, deep caramel, toasty, nutty, figgy, palate is rich, this amount of time turned it past aged and into tart, lightly tannic, lightly bitter, age about 3-8yrs
