Frootwood (2017)

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.

It’s developed nicely and lacks the sweetness it once had - it’s a treasure for sure 👍🍒

Really nice cherry-not medicinal like some cherry beverages. Slightly sweet with a delicate boozy finish.

Han store! Fryktelig god. 5 års-lagring gjør godt for denne. Passe mengde bourbon smak. Eneste som mangla e den siste lille punchen for å få femmern!

I think the maple was very little but getting an after taste from the Bourbon that I experienced with all 2017 KBS.

Cherry and maple syrup had me a little worried this was going to be a mucky sugar bomb, but the flavors are very subtly woven together. This is a really pleasant experience!
