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.

Almost all barrel character. Strong wood & vanilla with a background of bourbon. I don’t really pick up on the maple syrup. Cherry is mostly background. Full body but easily drinkable. Tasty, but A rather odd choice for barrel aging.

Light and thin for barrel aged, very unique. The crisp cherry ale works well with the oak, slightly dry. The maple and bourbon are subtle and make this refreshing and crushable considering the abv. BOD 11/10/21

What a well-composed brew here! Immediate cherry and vanilla with a smooth bourbon finish. Unique, inventive, and downright delicious!

I get the cherry. I get the maple syrup and the bourbon too. The final result seems to fall a bit flat though. Maybe it’s just me. Or might be the unavoidable cough syrup vibe.🤔🍒 BO=11/10/21👍🏻$4.99/12oz.🍻
