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.

Super woody. Sweet, dark cherry with a little bit of tartness. Similar to a cranberry wine, but not.

Pleasantly surprised. There is tangy cherry (not tart or sour, a plus), vanilla from the bourbon, & some maple. All flavors are pleasantly balanced and none are overwhelming. Nice.

You do get very subtle maple finish. Cherries are definitely muted. Dig it. This would be really good soured up

very tasty, maple cherry flavor. Side by side, straight up and Black & Tan. Bill has the right idea here, The nitro KBS addition made it like a chocolate covered cherry
