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.

Good but just too too sweet...if it dialed back the sweetness some and increased the smokiness, it would be totally perfect.

Complex sweet profile. Tart cherry, but sweet maple and bourbon. The bourbon bite at the end is a bit odd for a cherry ale. Maple sugar lingers. I want the cherry to linger.

Boys, I'm not sure what year this one is but it's dang good. Barrel aged flavor but not overpowered, I think the maple helps. Blends surprisingly well with the cherry.
