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 👍🍒

You can really taste the bourbon! Quite sweet, but balanced.

Love this beer ever since I found it in a markdown section one day. Now I have to buy it almost every time I see it 😂 I’m too much of a sucker for bourbon barrel aged beers. Founder’s is always great too. Cherry maple. My tongue is happy.

Una excelente Ale hecha con cerezas y añejada en barrica de Bourbon, sorprende lo bien que se mantuvo la acidez de las cerezas y se balancea con el dulzor del Bourbon, para maridaje unos chocolates de cerezas al licor, salud 🍻🏈

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!

Taste like having cherry juice with a slight hint of maple syrup. It has that sour ale taste
