Dog Fish Head - Burton Baton

This is a blended beer that DFH has been brewing for the past several years and it's recently been gaining in popularity.  For Burton Baton DFH brews two 'threads' or batches of beer: an English-style Old Ale and an Imperial IPA. After fementating the separate beers in stainless tanks, the two are transferred and blended together in a large oak tank. 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.
