Frootwood (2020)

Fruit Beer

Cherry ale aged in barrels that held both maple syrup and bourbon. Well balanced cherry ale with nice hints of buttered pancakes and vanilla bourbon. The oak barrel helps to round out and balance the flavors adding a subtle earthy presence.

Sweet (maple), fruity (cherry), boozy (in that order). Different from almost anything. It’s a hit.

Minimal effervescence makes it even more like a port. Sweet, light flavor.

Very unique... a cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels. Has a sweet side and the cherry notes does stand out. I would definitely drink this again.

The first sip is a little jarring with big cherry flavor, almost cough syrupy but really starts to blend well when you dive back in
