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.

8 ABV is deceiving. Nice fruited ale with a hint of barrel aging.

Sour cherries and sweet bourbon in the nose. Both the cherries and the bourbon give a balanced flavor. The sour from the cherries is countered with the bourbon sweetness. This beer is both refreshing and warming.

Top to bottom, 1 of 4. I had a pour of this beer a few years ago. Got it so Erin could try it out, and she really enjoyed it.

Whiskey sting with a light cherry taste. The maple syrup makes it sweet but smooth and mellow.

I love this. Hint of cherry - not overwhelming. Barrel aged is subtle. Delicious.

I thought this would be terrible, but oh no! It is interesting. I’ll have to try it again when I am not in the bag. The beer bag

Fascinating; reveals new layers in each sip. Tart sweetness plays against oak and deep syrup. Almost like a cocktail.

Красный. Носовский и Ротанович: вишневый компот, дубовая бочка и вишневое варенье дающее сладость. Из хорошего очень красивая этикетка...
