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.

Syrupy sweet cherry-laden Bourbon barrel Ale. Lower lip sticking to the glass rim. Lovely red color with bone-white head. Candy-ish and boozy main drive, strandy…almost Cognac. Bitter black cherry skin bite in back. A session-finisher. Cheers!

Thought the bourbon would hit more but it was tasty.

It tastes like cherries! The bourbon barrel/maple syrup barrel seems to have rounded out any harsh flavors I usually associate with a bourbon barrel aged beer, I can’t taste a bite from the alcohol in the barrel at all. There’s only a whisp of maple syrup

Interesting complexity, but in the end, overpowered by the maple sweetness. The combination of that and the cherry tones give it cough syrup undertones that I just don't want in my beer.

Bourbonflavor is light. Cherry and oak shine through. Bit sweet though.

Very fruit forward, smooth, sweet, but not cloying. And easy but powerful drink.

Super unique. Cherry forward followed by lulled out bourbon and vanilla. Good carbonation. Excellent and unique. Cherry lasts a long time while the mellow vanilla fades away. Delicious. Complex, enjoyable. No maple but maybe a lil sweet from it

The bourbon and the sweetness from the cherry balance perfectly. I can actually drink a small one of these. Mikey likes it.
