So this is a cherry ale aged in bourbon barrels that used to hold maple syrup. Nice tartness from the cherry that is quickly subverted by the sweetness from the maple. Honey? It never gets to be too maple-y nor does it linger too long. Super smooth for 8%

Like a cherry apple pie. Cinnamon. Spiced. Vanilla. Refreshing fruit tart

You get the tartness of the cherry upfront and then the sweetness of the maple in the finish.

Better than I remember from four years ago. Great oaky notes with slightly tart cherry ale, just a hint of maple

A cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels? It’s weird. It’s really light in body, not very carbonated and oddly smooth. The first flavor to hit is a smooth ale-like maple syrup and then the CHERRY hits. It’s alright, but kinda tastes like medicine

Thanks BT! Very different than the other beers I’ve had by Founders. On the sweeter side than what I’m used to, but I like it.
