ND:DFH Burton Baton
From the cellar. Sweet.Malty. Boozy. Labeled an Imperial IPA. Not as hoppy as expected. At least 6 years old.
From the DFH website:
Availability:
Limited
This is a blended beer that we've been brewing for the past several years and it's recently been gaining in popularity.
For Burton Baton we first brew two 'threads' or batches of beer: an English-style Old Ale and an Imperial IPA. After fementating the separate beers in our stainless tanks, the two are transferred and blended together in one of our 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. The wood also tends to mellow the 10% of the beer - so tread cautiously!
Burton Baton is brewed and released three times per year.
