Destihl Flanders/Oud Bruin

Brewed by Destihl Restaurant & Brew Works
Style: Sour Ale
Normal, Illinois USA

On draught at Destihl. Pours a dark copper hue with notes of cherry and a nose similar to a good scotch ale. On the palate is less sourness than one might expect, and instead toasted oak (guessing this is spending some time on oak or bourbon), Montmorency cherry, orange zest, cardamom, and a toasty finish. Among the sour ales, it reminded me of Panil Barrique. I’m happy to see Destihl breaking new ground, as this was one of several excellent feature beers.
