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.

Fruity nose. Smooth mouth feel. Slight sweetness with obvious but not overpowering bourbon. Perfect ABV.

Never thought this would be my type, but it is intriguingly delicious.

Not nearly as strong as other bourbon barrel aged beers, balanced well with the sweet cherries and maple

Light cherry juice, caramel, oaky vanilla. Just a touch too sweet.

Got a nice cherry beer here with hints of maple and smoother with bourbon. Definitely one to sip and enjoy.

Like a fruity maple syrup. Strong enough to keep you warm for a 14 minute walk home with a real feel of -5

Soft cherry fruit aromas with sweet aroma notes. Medium to heavy body. Smooth, thin mouthfeel. Strong cherry fruit flavors throughout. Sweetness.slight fruity tartness. Bright sweet cherry fruit flavors linger.
