I like the regular Duchesse better. This one has a little tobacco in the aromas but is a touch dryer with barest hint of oak. This one is smoother and more balanced but the other has a lot more flavor.

Pours deep mahogany into a tumbler. Tan head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Tart cherry and oak aromas. Tart with sweet cherry, oak and funky balsamic... wonderful.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours dark ruddy brown with a slight, creamy tan head. Aroma of dark cooking cherry. Med body. It's tart, yet a bit sweet. Cooking cherry. Some slightly musty wood notes. A little funk. Quite approachable.

Pretty solid beer. Apricot and sour plum. Tangerine and black cherry. Barrel integrates super well. Seriously a wonderful Flanders sour. Dark brown pour with great head and lacing. Tangy fruity end. A serious beer. Can.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep burgundy color with a small off-white head. Cherry stone aromas with light vinegar, oak and slight dark grape notes as it warms. Light on the palate, but still some nice body for the 4.5 abv. Cherry, iron and oak on the finish.
