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.

I’m usually not a fan of bourbon barrel aged beers but glad I gave this a shot, it’s great. Definitely very sweet, not overwhelming on the bourbon taste which I like. Heavier on the Cherry followed by the maple with just a hint of bourbon.

Advertised mapple flavor does not come through. Predominant cherry flavor

Last one. It’s quite enjoyable and has a nice balance of BA and fruit.
