Dogfish Head's Burton Baton


This beer is a real favorite here at Shipwater. Sam delivers again with this blended English Old Ale and Imperial IPA. Dogfish ages these in oak tanks at the end of fermentation which really adds to the already exciting flavors.

The beer pours a light amber, even orange tint with a light tan head. The smell is even better than the site with heavy floral and citrus scents. It is sweet to taste at first, but then complex flavor of hops, citrus, and malt take over. It provides a smooth refreshing feel followed by a wonderful explosion of citrus & acid that lingers long on the tongue with a pleasant after tastes.

Measuring in a 10.0% ABV and 70 IBU. This beer is memorable.
