I've been putting this off for way too long. Bought at the Normal, IL brewpub in early October, 2015. Sour Belgian-style ale aged in oak barrels. Alec. 7.2% ABV. Brewed and bottled by Destihl Brewery, Bloomington, IL. Batch year 2013. Barrel #s 25-27, 35, 36.Dark burgundy coloring, slim light brownish head.
Rich, dark fruit pops out of the nose, plums, raisins, figs, etc. Cherries, date. And along comes the funk, the funk, the funkitty-funk-funk. Down deep and oaky as heck.
In the mouth, intense puckeration, fierce sour, mouth-gripping tart. Lush fruit, Sweet and sour mouthfeel. Ends on a dry note, sends the thirst rushing back to the glass, quenching the palate anew. Beautiful rich, tasty malty dark body, long sourish finish. Refreshingly delicious.
Mmmm. Ahhh. Right on, man. This is doing it to it.
