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.

Nice cherry ale aged in bourbon and maple syrup. Smooth, great sipping beer.

To my taste, too much coconut, in a weird blend with the cherries

Fridge Find, aged really nice. Good mellow cherry and maple notes with a sweet soft mouth feel.

Sweet cherry with a touch of barrel. Not to bad for a fridge find

Still pretty sweet, not much tart. Very good, though

Maple syrup makes it a little heavy. The fruit part is light and crisp. Barrel aging did well. Syrup a little too cloying.

Litt usikker, mye rart som skjer her, men det funker på en måte. Kombinasjonen bourbon og lønnesirup sammen med kirsebær lager et meget funky preg.

Smooth. Nice balance of stone fruit and yes barrel wood. No bite that I remember from the first time. Aged well.

Fruity and tart but smooth. I very much enjoyed this and sad it's not longer being produced

After 3 years in the cellar the bourbon flavor has mellowed out and its actually more enjoyable now.
