Appearance

The ale pours a mostly cloudy copper and is topped by a thick stack of cream-colored foam that shows excellent retention. Patches of residue cling to the sides of the glass.

Aroma

The aroma is sweet and hoppy with a scent of piney hops, fruit, caramel, and booze.

Flavor

The palate is hop forward with a floral and piney flavors mixed with wood and vanilla. The bitterness becomes more pronounced hops and an earthy character from the oak barrels. Finishes with a taste of tart cherry, tangy grapefruit, and booze. A malty backbone of caramel ties the palate together.

Mouthfeel

The feel has a medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Smooth—almost creamy—on the front end that becomes very dry on the backend. Finishes with a warming sensation from the alcohol.

Overall

Burton Baton is rich, wonderfully complex, and also so well-rounded. And though its ABV is lofty, the alcohol only enhances the flavor and this brew is still fairly easy to drink.
