Laravel Auth Logout() + Session Flush() not logging out user

I've been experiencing inability to successfully logout of my application for about 3 months.

The controller code on the logout route:

Auth::logout();
Session::flush();

For what it's worth, the remember token column is not null in the users table, and the session config drive is file.

EDIT:

I notice the remember token value is being changed in the DB after logout while exhibiting behavior of staying logged in.

In the spirit of solving problems and moving on, here's what works as a band-aid:

    //standard logout method
    Auth::logout();

    sleep(1);

    //finally logged out!!!!
    Auth::logout();

try using

public function getLogout() {
    Auth::logout();
    // Session::flush();
    return Redirect::to('login')->with('message', 'Your are now logged out!');
}

To logout and redirect to your login screen

And use

public function __construct() {
    $this->beforeFilter(function(){
        if (!Auth::check())
            return Redirect::to('admin/login')->with('message', 'You need to be logged in!');
    });
}

In your controller to restrict a user not login to login
