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.

There's cherry, a hunt of bourbon, and the maple finish is awesome.

Solid. Nice maple nose. Enjoy the slight cherry tartness. Smooth and oak and bourbon barrel aging worked well here.

Cherry flavored Red Ale. It’s barrel-aged and not too tart. 6% ABV. Going down to the Smiling Moose for Reverend Raven soon!

One of the most interesting beers I’ve had lately. Plenty of oak plus cherry. It is like a port. Definitely a sipping beer.

Slight cherry finish, there is a hint off the barrel in there, but it’s far from overwhelming…This is an interesting beer, glad I tried it, would like to try on draft or nitro, not sure I would get more in bottles… the ABV is only 8%, not sure I would age

A sweet cherry brew. Surprised me on my first taste. Sweeter than I thought it would be. Very good taste, smooth drinking beer.
