Frootwood Mothership Series 15

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

Sweeter and more cherries than I remembered but very smooth with touch of bourbon finish

Holy cow is this good. Pour this on some vanilla ice cream, then you can die in peace.

Well not as I remember from the 2017 bottle, but that was also aged about a year when I drank it. Will age some of these, but for now....solid 4!

Heavy fruity sweetness. Enjoyable even with subtle banana note I don’t care what Nick O. says.

It is sweeter than I remember from the last version a few years ago. Still good and smooth. Maybe could use a little more time in the barrel.

Has a fruity nose and a lot of cherry taste, much like Sam Adam’s cherry wheat. Manages to temper the burbon that, for me, ruins a lot of otherwise decent beers.

Tastes like top shelf cough syrup, I can’t tell if I actually enjoy this or the memory of this. Last time I had frootwood I was getting drunk in my ex’s bed while she was at work and I was playing xbox

Founders Advent Calendar 2021 Day 17. Had to postpone this one since Nate and Shannon abandoned me for the weekend. Very light cherry. Lots of dry oak and syrup. Almost medicinal. Clean. Just not what I’m feeling.
