Both beers are damn good but for a long time Burton Baton was my favorite beer of all time. That is until I found my love of West Coast IPAs

@Jim…you should be able to get Burton Baton pretty easy in NJ.
@Scott…While I wish your beer would have been carbonated, it is a HUGE relief knowing that I am not crazy and/or loosing nerve endings in my mouth. Your right…still good though!

Nate:

I, too, had a bottle of 90 that was almost completely free of carbonation. It was still an excellent beer, however. I would like to try it again (this time with some carbonation!)

I always enjoy DFH’s offerings. They can be a little more challenging than some other beers, but they’re typically more rewarding as well.

I’ve never had (or heard of) the Burton Baton, so this is an eye opener for me. I’ll have to look for it next time I’m out – it sounds like a gem.

@jason for stopping by…I assumed it was a bad bottled…last 2 times I had the 90 minute it was amply carbonated. I’ve read about the 75 min…woul love to have it on tap!

@Mike last itme I had bBurton Baton I didn’t like it as much…it hit the spot this time. 105 sounds interesting.

I think maybe some for the buttery tones could easily be the oak. As far as the 75 min IPA, I’d like to give it a try sometime. I’m actually waiting for a 105, since they are doing beers that are 15 minutes apart. I wish that I’d had the Baton this week but it’s not really too available. Maybe I’ll have to check out my cellared bottles when I go home.

I think you had a bad bottle, as I haven’t had a non-carbinated 90 min. I feel the carbination in the 90 is spot on, and really cuts up the heaviness of the beer. I dont know about the Burton, as I have not had it, but if you get it again without congestion, let us know if the Oak comes out on the nose.

As for DFH, one of my favorite beers I had was what they call and Alehouse 75 (I believe). They serve it at the DFH pubs. They mix 60 and 90 min IPAs 50/50 and it is a delicious brew. Check it out, or do it yourself (which is what I now do).
