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.

Less medicinal when colder. Also better from the bottle than in a glass. While barrel aged, that was my mistake to treat it more like a stout or old ale.

Last one. It’s quite enjoyable and has a nice balance of BA and fruit.
