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.

Fascinating; reveals new layers in each sip. Tart sweetness plays against oak and deep syrup. Almost like a cocktail.

Красный. Носовский и Ротанович: вишневый компот, дубовая бочка и вишневое варенье дающее сладость. Из хорошего очень красивая этикетка...

Pleasantly surprised, but I ran out of beer trying to figure it out. Very complex. Not what I expected of a fruit beer

Smells like indoor pool @ lake lawn.Very bourbon taste, but not terrible.Following Rubaeus & Blushing Monk; Interesting.Next time go reverse order.Not getting much maple, just bourbon fruit.Don't love it, but don't hate it. 1% away from being too strong.

Good, but not near the level of most of their barrel aged beers. Pretty light with a touch of cherry and bourbon.

Huge cherry and bittering cranberry flavor upfront. A good amount of wood blends in as well. Not too much maple, bourbon heat is here and there. Tasty and sweet, fun drink to end the night. Good beer.

Very delicious. The fruit flavor is nice and it cuts the bourbon flaovers down. Don't really detect maple but there really is no lingering finish. Is very smooth. Easy drinker.
