Super-delicious and refreshingly tart gosé-sour beer! Love the salty finish; it’s perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon or after doing chores! — 2 years ago

2013 FDR3. Red-hued dark brunette body with bib bubbles, big textured, loose and frothy. Just dud spots left and moth wing scatter of pressed flower residual. Awesome sour cherry, baked persimmon, aged balsamic over steamed carrot, peppercorn, and toasty oak scents disperse, while chutney and pickled apricot take the spotlight, locked in a dark embrace. This may be the perfect sour. Smooth from oak, but sweet with vanillin and cola-malt, and sharpness from grapefruit, sour apricot, sweet potato sugar baked black. Blackened cinnamon-soaked apples, dried, brined bing cherry flavors, grilled lime, with autumnal spice and landscape sensibilities flowing smoothly in between. Astounding. — 5 years ago

Hello opacity! White ash head that looks stable, but drops quick. Sheet lacing that yawns like a cavern complete with stalagmites and ‘tites. Gorgeous nose of honeyed fig, tangerine, Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, banana-coconut pie and pineapple sorbet. Zippy and lively metallic entry brings grapefruit oil in abundance, lime zest, lemongrass, lemon verbena, chive, starfruit, green mango, key lime, white pepper and ruby grapefruit pulp and pith. Finishes minerally, concentrated and borderline tartaric. #destihl #destihlbrewery #ilbeer #boycottbland #hazy #hazyipa #ipa #dipa #doubleipa #hazydoubleipa #iipa #citrahops #simcoehops #indiapaleale #ale #beer #bier #birra #cerveza #biere #cerveja #gratefuldead #hazeofthedead #destihlhazeofthedead #hazeofthedeaddoubleipa — 4 years ago

Looks like another über-opaque stout, black with tinges of brown, except up top where a rush of micro bubbles made a ton of macros that left a pretty, light-caramel colored flattop; orange tints. Short streaked and spotted lacing. Dark chocolate covered peanut butter, mocha, black cherry jam thumbprint cookies, grilled pepper steak, fresh toffee. Frankly, the list could go on forever. Aromatic acrobatics. Luxardo cherries under dark chocolate, aged balsamic complexity (think: 40 year), dark, barebones strong coffee with one sugar, Christmas figgy pudding, Barolo chinato, gingerbread, ginger beer, molasses, chocolate bitters. Clove finish delivers on the dry. Amazed as ever with this brewery’s offerings. The profiles scare the hell out of me, but the beers are always sublime. — 5 years ago

Loud pouring and viscous. Lightest brown cover thick above actively churning reddish darkness. Bran muffin, chocolate malted milk balls, a candied beef jerky note, buckwheat, banana split with chocolate syrup, root beer, bakers chocolate, bourbon candies with cherry aromatics. Kabbalist script lacing. Vanilla black bread, honey-truffle butter, burnt cane, burnt brown sugar and cinnamon, darkest chocolate covering toffee, espresso bean, licorice, allspice, cardamom and anise seed, valerian root, chicory, whole bean vanilla. — 5 years ago
