An oak aged imperial india pale ale, some beer geeks may love what
they may theorize as the subtle interplay betwixt a highgravity uber
ipa and
the side show oak flavor; However they would be propogating a fallacy
in that the beer so aptly named burton baton, whacks the end user over
the head killing the delightful Intense Bitterness (Read
Counterbalance to Intense maltiness), leaving the poor taster with the
impression that he is feasting upon a dry desert of balsawood and
medicinal alcohol. This woody taste/malty texture completely Batons
the pleasing bittering counterbalance one woood expect from an ipa
much less an IMPERIAL IPA.
OK folks please leave oak where it belongs , in wine and bourbon, and
maybe congac.I did however enjoy the 10%abv.
