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.

Great blending idea. It could use more time in the maple barrels. Hard to find. Solid Bier.

This is too hard to rate. It's fantastic in every way and that's the problem. It's a bit too busy with too many notes going on.

From now! Tons of barrel but I think the base beer is overwhelmed by it. Needs a stronger beer to stand up to the barrel. Cherry and sweet follow. Solid brew.
