Frootwood

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.

Kinda cough syrup like. I'm really wondering how we're this far in a pandemic before I remembered I had this glass...

Not sure on this one. Nice a fruity and bit of the barrel makes it through.

The bourbon and the sweetness from the cherry balance perfectly. I can actually drink a small one of these. Mikey likes it.

Slight bourbon nose. Slightly thick and mouth feelly. Good. But nothing I’m going to scream and shout about. Probably my least favorite of the bourbon barrel series from Founders.

Just a little too sweet. As beer warms becomes less sweet and slightly more tart.
