Didactic is a more aggressive American take on a West Flanders classic, the Flemish Brown. Mildly acidic, caramel malt flavors with dark fruits. Notes of vanilla and whiskey from the extended aging in oak from Westland Distillery and hints of leather and sour cherry. Unlike kettle soured beers this one aged the hard way with a ton of patience, originally planned for release in 2015 but it just wasn’t ready. I think the waiting paid off. |
