Frootwood (2016)

Fruit Beer

We took a crisp, light-bodied cherry ale and hid it away in oak barrels that have held both bourbon and maple syrup. After a lengthy stint, it emerged a changed beer, blanketed in notes of warm vanilla and earthy sweetness. The wood proves itself the star of this beer, adding depth and taming the tart cherry while the maple imposes a velvety texture that lingers for not a moment too long.

12oz bottle. Since this has been re-released, thought I’d dig one out of the cellar (have several!). Really impressed: All the cherry, maple syrup and bourbon barrel notes were still present and well-integrated. 4.3

This was actually worse than the rating but that’s a little on my roommate for aging it so fuckin long so I’m not gonna penalize this beer too much, it was past it’s prime
