Dogfish Head Burton Baton

http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/dogfish-head-burton-baton/39508/

The elusive brew is made from pilsner malt and amber malt with an original gravity of 26.5?P, yielding an 11% abv. It's hopped with Warrior and Glacier varieties. Primary fermentation takes place in open vessels using two yeast strains, one American and one English. For added complexity, the beer is conditioned on barrel staves of French Oak for four months before being dry hopped with Glacier at the rate of a half-pound per barrel. This elixir is then blended 50/50 with 90 Minute IPA. After blending, the beer will measure 80 IBU and 10% abv. Bottled in corked bottles through Michael Jackson’s rare beer club by late November 04 and available in 12 ounce full distribution in early January 05.

Pretty good, but weird spice pairings.

I think one has like sage and orange peel. It was strange, but good.
Odd.

Maybe one day.

I picked up a lot of brews tonight so look for some more Beverage posts in the upcoming days.
