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.

Nice cherry aroma and flavor. A little bit tart, but very smooth and well balanced. Get plenty of vanilla from the barrel. A very nice beer.

Cherry taste, but maybe the cherry/maple makes it too sweet? Bourbon barrel smell, but not so much in the taste.

This is so good and probably about 6 years old. Mildly sweet cherry and maple.
