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.

It tastes like a cherry sour that mellowed out most of the sourness in the aging… sweet notes of maple and a vanilla bourbon finish…fantastic!

Sweet, but not overly. Decent cherry notes. Sweetness come from two sources, cherries and maple syrup barrels. Aged 1 year. Ages well.

Smells strong maple and cherry. Tart cherry with notes of vanilla, maple and bourbon. This was different and it’s easy drinkable for this ABV🙄

Something different. Cherry, but also heavy and not overly sweet. I am unsure of my opinion on this. Five more over time will change that.

Very interesting. Tasted like a cross between a barley wine a cider and a barreled beer.

Took a chance on this one because, well, Founders and I had never seen or had it. Strangely good. I don’t get the maple much from the barrel but I still liked it. Cheers

Maple balances the cherries. Slight foam at opening, but the pour was fine.
