Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Burton Baton
Aroma: “Intense and layered notes of alcohol and sweet breadcrust. Hints of raisins, cinnamon, and cloves.”
Flavor: “Dark fruit notes with fig and grape must flavors. Firm alcohol presence and an intense malt richness that borders on barleywine. There’s definitely age on this and a hint of wood, and the perfect amount of hop bitterness to balance out the sweetness.”
Overall: “It’s complex but not overwhelming and rich but not cloying. This is a fantastic beer—a delicious, end-of-the-night, watch The Godfather and fall asleep on the couch kind of beer.”
