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.

Still prefer the 17 version. This bottle is strong on the maple with cherry on the back

First timer for this one. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed this one. Pours a light caramel brown color with aromas of fruity notes. The taste is cherry up front with the maple sweetness on the backend. Not much barrel, but very good.

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

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.

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

Very nice aroma of cherries and barrels. I really like the cherry flavors and you get the bourbon flavor from the aging process. Nice beer, only negative is it is pretty sweet.
